Libra-net (4)
1. David Arnaudov is the Science for Kids Scratch-master! David is a six-grader who has been programming for three years. It took him one month to create the winning game, and his little brother was the main debugger. In return, David promised to give him the Nintendo Switch in case he won. Congratulations David, and a big thank you to the company Polimed for donating the Switch!

Опис и попис на првата сезона на „С(ц)иеста“
Што да се каже за 2020-та? На некои деца некогаш во иднина веројатно ќе им раскажуваме за неа со насмевка во минато свршено време, но денес, сите ние кои ја преживеавме сè уште го имаме нејзиниот продолжен горчлив вкус во устата.
