"“These programmes have been an amazing resource for both the children and families in our community. As a volunteer for 20 years, I’ve gotten to see countless students come through the programmes, learning and growing in ways that continue to amaze me. It’s so much more than just the robots. The creativity, problem solving and teamwork skills that these programmes foster will stay with these students throughout their lives and have already enabled them to impact their communities for the better. It’s been an honour to be a part of that process for all these years.”"
