🎃 BBC Spotlight: “Students Race Across the World with LEGO”

Posted 3 years ago by the Penpol Pumpkins

Today we were joined by BBC Spotlight, who came to visit us at Penpol to learn about our Food Waste project and how we’re fundraising to get to America.  They interviewed us and filmed lots of clips of our Robot in action.
