[Swansea Hackspace] Can you help some young "TeenTechers"?

[Shaun Woodrow]

Hi Susan,
Not sure if you have had a response back for this yet.
I am a new member to hackspace and not sure whether I will have the skills
you are looking for particularly but have worked in I.T. for 35 years and
have a small software company but currently not produced any apps of the
sort the students may be thinking of.
Sadly my schedule is pretty busy, but perhaps you can let me know what sort
of input you are looking for?
Thanks

Shaun
