Wanna recap one of the best events we’ve run recently? Our ELI5 event was a hit—we SOLD OUT! And it’s not hard to see why. For those who aren’t in the know, Explain Like I’m 5 is our classic lightning talk series from pre-pandemic times. Speakers have just seven minutes…

The date is 22/7, or Pi Approximation Day, so it’s a good day to announce Northern Ireland’s very own charitable space programme, and start work on sending a Raspberry Pi into space. We’ve picked this project deliberately because it will require people with a wide range of skills and interests…
