We were so saddened yesterday, to read of the loss of the wonderful, Dr. Jane Goodall; a huge loss to humanity.

We had the privilege of meeting Jane, back in 2024, when she captivated a room-full of teenagers by introducing herself in Chimpanzee! Her passion and energy were truly inspirational.

In our most recent visit, the young people made a great start, engaging in the following activities:
✅ Intro to the Global Goals
✅ Coding micro:bits to build simple air quality monitors
✅ Using wildlife cameras
✅ Building prototype robots
✅ Creating environmental-themed arcade games
