In another post from July 25, Bacon described a visit to Kids Can Omaha with the same guests: “I’m hosting two visitors from across the pond! @PeterABedford and Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge joined me at @kidscanomaha to learn about our education models, and compare STEM and screen time challenges. Kids Can uses Harry Potter in some of their robotic lessons!”
