00:00 As you can get to see it on the screen,
00:03 and then work on engraving and cutting,
00:07 and we end up with a finished product.
00:09 Students use functional components to build their products.
00:13 We end up then with a complete product, something like that.
00:19 We also make use of this to educate and inspire the younger generations
00:24 throughout the world.
00:27 And on Monday, we'll be making an announcement of GigaFive.

01:29 Your Majesty, we are so pleased to celebrate the opening of our campus
01:34 and to have you here today.
01:36 And for some 18 years, we've been bringing Scottish heritage,
01:41 Scottish values into education and research here in the UAE.
01:46 And this is our 203rd year of operations at the University,
01:50 so we're so delighted to invite you to reveal and formally open the building.

02:10 We have one little memento to leave with you, Your Majesty.
02:14 Upstairs, we had a look at a laser cutting of things that were familiar to you,
02:19 and we have taken that and made it into a small jigsaw,
02:24 which I'd like to invite Ruth Moore, the secretary, to present to you.
