Today, we had the chance to show the iHR to numerous children and their parents who work at Heriot-Watt University. We have received plenty of visits of curious people who sometimes had heard of us but had never seen the system.
We have been stormed by successive waves (classes) of children who then sadly had to orderly queue for trying the iHR system. Thanks ESP for inviting us!
Conversations were different from those in our usual engagement events, and it was nice to answer questions about the end purpose of the system, the type of reseach done in our department at Heriot-Watt, etc.
