Results and Impact ~2100 KS2 students (7-11) attended the webinar titled "My job working with Robots". The purpose of the webinar was to inspire young people, girls especially, to consider working in computing. The talk was part of the I Belong series from the National Centre for Computing Education. We received many questions during the event from students and teachers alike, and I have since responded to all questions unanswered in the session. Positive feedback was provided by teachers citing increased interest from students.
