Week Two – 2 Mar 2024

The class did some sorting exercises, using large UNO cards. I didn’t take photographs but took some sound recordings of the general chatter which I thought would be nice to share. You can’t really hear any individual conversation but it gives an idea of the energy in the room, with people solving problems or asking for help. Thank you very much to our workshop presenter Evangelia, Software Engineer at Google :)
