Mindblown by the quality and attention to detail the organization has put in preparing the practical exercises. The best of Day was soldering SMD components onto the PCB we had been designing on Day 1. Top kit, top facilites and top trainers.

Enjoying a fun day at the #FirstLegoLeague in Seville with the little one.
150 kids aged 7 to 16 showing off their awesome projects and battling it out in the robotics comp - what an experience!
Teams came from Andalusia, Extremadura, and the Portuguese Algarve.
This is where the future starts!

Day 14: assembly of the leader arm is now complete! (And video edition much more efficient). Part 1 of 2.
