FFC is a youth group for secondary school age young people. We meet after school on Fridays until about 5pm. We are learning electronics and programming, designing and building our own projects, including games, robots, vehicles and hydroponics systems. Once a month we have a Friday evening social with food and games, and a more laid-back vibe.
