The day ended at 5pm with emotional goodbyes and warm thanks. The day showed the exceptional learning and project development that can take place when institutions and students work together. The students of Writhlington, FAWE and KCCEM have achieved extraordinary things together. Thank you to the students for their commitment and determination to overcome challenges, and to the staff of FAWE and KCCEM for making the project possible.
