Parents, pupils, teachers. Three of the 560+.
“My son built an air sensor and took it home to show his grandmother. The first time I’ve seen him proud of homework.”
“Nobody told me this wasn’t for me. I programmed robots and measured the air in a village where that’s something normal.”
“There was no Cisco Academy in the whole county. Now our children earn the same certifications as those in Bucharest.”
