What have they built

Like greek to me? Don't worry, since 2017 we have had projects of every level, from "dog ate my homework" to "teachers amazed". I have guided the projects with Harto Holmström, but the real work has been done by the students. You can see their names or nicks in the linked articles. On the final presentations they usually find that they could not have believed in the first day what they would succesfully build.
