It was great to see the team supporting Save The Children UK, raising £44 for a fantastic cause.
‘My Life: I’m Leading the Dance’ shortlisted for Award
You may remember that last year, Loop Technology had the honour of working with The Format Factory to bring to life a mini-documentary for BBC, telling the story of 14-year-old dancer Neisha and how her disability had become her strength as she danced with one of our Kuka KR240 industrial robots.
It was recently announced that it has made the Broadcast Awards 2022 shortlist for Best Children’s Programme. Congratulations and good luck to the team at The Format Factory!
