Tristan,

Code Club are already involved. I guess you could ask up the CodeClub
chain of command (as it were)..?

I only have a prototype because I attended a workshop last month for
partners (the PSF is a partner and I'm the PSF point of contact).

Getting hold of MicroBits is at the top of my ToDo list with this
project. I'll let you know how I get on.
