Something cool (both interesting and air conditioned) for the scouts from the #WorldScoutJamboree. They visited the Naver 1784 building, a kind of hybrid office/research center for automation/robotics.

Worst event ever 👎

"The event, which attracted 43,000 scouts from 158 countries, has been plagued by problems since it started on Tuesday, including a #HeatWave that resulted in hundreds of participants being treated for heat-related ailments, and reports of #PoorSanitation, waterlogged conditions caused by heavy rain, as well as #RottenFood and swarms of #mosquitoes and #flies."

“Despite the heat and the difficulties and the challenges that they are facing, only 8% reported that they were very unsatisfied with the experience so far,” Jacob Murray, the director for World Events at the Scouts, told reporters.
