Editor's Notes
- You can tell the audience about when your Flying Labs was created and the story behind the creation of your Flying Labs.
- As part of our efforts to promote Science, Technology, Education and Mathematics (STEM) education and career opportunities through drones and robotics, Sierra Leone Flying Labs visited ten secondary schools in Freetown in November 2019. Pick a project that had the widest impact. Tell us what the main challenges were, when and where it took place, who your partners, main beneficiaries were and what the outcomes were and if you have any follow up plan.
- In this section, you are advised to present one or a few of other activities you carried out during the year. It should highlight the results. For training, tell us who were trained and how many people, for other events/meetings, what it brought to your Flying Labs in terms of new opportunity or partnership.
