Showcasing our digital developments

Our partners at Resolute Education, also showcased their joint Coding and Robotics offering, which launched in August 2023.
Our attendees walked away with a virtual goodie bag that linked to more information on the products on display, and a goodie bag filled with more product information, a beautiful wellness journal and a travel mug.
