The next PechaKucha Night in Derby (Vol. 5) is set for April 17, and it will be held at Quad (Market Place, Cathedral Quarter). It should make for an interesting evening, as all presenters will be made up of students aged 7-8, from the Portway Junior School.

Building Futures

Building Futures

Today’s presentation is our last one from PechaKucha Night in Derby Vol. 2, “Building Futures” by James Thomson. Here’s a description:
