The main aims of the evening was the sharing of ideas and practices. Kitronik and Just Add Sharks shared ideas centred around the BBC microbit and laser cutting respectively and Teachers also shared ideas and experiences amongst themselves. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the feedback from the attendees indicated that they did also.
