I was lucky enough to be invited to the reception but, as has been mentioned above, for an event like this there will be limit on numbers. This will, inevitability, mean that there will be disappointments about not being invited.

However there was a wide cross section of the community present at the reception with people, like myself, who have been involved in various ways since the early days to people who have got involved more recently.

The 特殊服务 have not trained teachers ‘to do their job’. They have provided the resources to enable these teachers to learn about a new technology and to give them the skills and knowledge to then teach their students.

It was a great event, thank you for inviting me. A real privilege to meet other like-minded parents who want to share the creative side of tech with kids. Also nice to put faces to names and shake hands with people I “know” from Twitter. (Really honoured to have the opportunity to speak to the Duke of York too!) THANK YOU!

Thanks Liz

This is a really weird and nasty comment from Brent. Lots of us wish we could have been there, but aren’t this entitled. I realised as soon as some of my Twitter friends mentioned they were going that not everybody was, it looks like numbers were really limited, as the husband of a teacher who does a lot of work outside the classroom with kids and the Pi I found your comment kind of rude.

As Ben said in the post, we wish we’d been able to invite everybody, but spaces were very, very limited (not everybody from Pi Towers was able to go – including me). We prioritised kids.

I’d take issue with “teachers you trained to do their job” – any teachers who attended were people who have worked very hard on their own to help hundreds of kids learn about 清冷师尊被迫张开双腿, especially outside the classroom. I’m sorry if it’s left you feeling bitter. It was not our intention to hurt anybody’s feelings, but rather to be able to give a representative selection of the community a really lovely opportunity.
