I often think at conferences that I could do with the same time after a talk just to discuss it - well here’s a chance for loads of discussion :) I’ll be going along in person, hope to see some others there!

The opportunity and ideas presented here are lovely. Not sure about how much I agree with taking away too many exam/GCSE courses as they lead to flexibility later in life and I believe each offer different skills rather than just knowledge retrieval, but I love the nano course ideas in this.
