Update for the past weeks

I haven't progressed much with my EPQ as last week was Work Experience Week and the week before was A-Level Mock Week, meaning that I didn't have time to expand my ideas and think about what steps I need to take to continue my EPQ experience.

If I decide to completely change my idea in the future, I will have to organise another appr...
