There needs to be far more educational events like this organised for children to take them off devices and expand their minds from a young age.

Delighted to see an Irish language event being hosted. The Celts connection fitted very well with our 4th class.

I learned a lot about cyber security. I learned that cyber security is a lot more interesting than it sounds.
