We are holding workshops around the island, and online, from November – January 2021. We can’t hold as many as we would like due to covid so we are running some online sessions too. The next one will be on Monday 17th January from 6-7pm. Students can sign up at the link if they have not had a workshop via school.
Please try the puzzles in advance if you are having a zoom session with a tutor (or attending the Solution DIscussion on Monday 17th January 6-7pm), Do not try the puzzles in advance if a tutor is visiting your school:
