Project Highlight
When I first met Alexander and Bradley in November they were very proud to show me their smart house/community They were made of lego. They now wanted to make it smart For two months they coded, installed a b board, added arcade buttons, added neopixel lights resulting in a community with a system that warns citizens when the community is flooded, when there is an earthquake, when it is hot and even a system to celebrate. They even came to school on a day off to share their project with the 350+ delegates at the Clair2023 conference Congratulations to our two future engineers
