I would like to be able to participate, but I am not qualified in the required areas (I am an SHST Technician, and perhaps this specialty will not be taught!) And also time does not allow, because I live in Angola and registrations are almost closing!
Amazing initiative… May there be more projects like this
Good luck, and may the creators of this initiative (idea) be blessed.
I have a mechatronics technician but I have no experience
