Just a heads up, there's a typo on your ad that appears on CP. It says 'Exiting summer camps for kids'. I believe that should be 'Exciting'.

Helped her out with the robot camp on the weekend, taking pictures and setting up etc. Pretty cool stuff guys.

Kids are amazed to see a bunch of parts become a thing (robot), then the thing comes to life.
