Code Club are already involved. I guess you could ask up the CodeClub chain of command (as it were)..? I only have a prototype because I attended a workshop last month for partners (the PSF is a partner and I'm the PSF point of contact). Getting hold of MicroBits is at the top of my ToDo list with this project. I'll let you know how I get on. N. On 13/03/15 10:18, Tristan Roddis wrote: > Woah. That sounds really interesting.
