School sets world record for largest lesson

Nearly 1,700 students gathered at the University of Lisbon's IST School of Technology to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest computer programming lesson in a single venue. The previous record grouped 724 participants in Dallas, in the US, in 2016. 'The final total was counted on how many people were here and 1,668 participants were achieved,' said Guinness World Records Adjudicator Paulina Sapinska. — Reuters
