Facebook Drone Takes Flight

Tech Life

Available for over a year

We go inside the plant where Facebook's internet drone is being built. Plus, why Japanese company Softbank wants to buy ARM Holdings, the “jewel in the crown” of the UK’s tech industry. And a scheme set up to teach girls in Africa to code that is now helping young women in a prosperous English county to learn to program. Presented by BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones, with Chris Foxx from the BBC Online tech desk, and special guest Mariéme Jamme, social entrepreneur.
