Editor's Notes

  • #2: Thank Futurekids. Relationship with school, Robotics, staff and students attend Futurekids courses. Delighted to speak this morning. Slides in Spanish, I shall speak in English so that you can understand me via the translation, since my accent may prevent me from communicating effectively.
