[Scale-planning] Hands-on activities in the Expo hall?

[Lan Dang]

Yep, the idea is that they have to go to the opposite end of the Expo hall,
which means they should go by a whole bunch of booths.

I was expecting to have all the activities to be time sliced.  It gives
people an excuse to visit the expo hall frequently if there is always
something different going on.  Would 2-hour blocks be best?

And I really want it to be something the community and sponsor booths
participate in, so we don't have to necessarily staff it the whole time,
beyond coordinating and keeping an eye on any loaner equipment.

We should have some way of displaying the schedule of the activities to the
rest of SCALE and at registration, especially if they get organized at the
last minute.

ah, i see.  that's a consideration, but i don't think a limitation.  i
believe lan is thinking you'd have to pass through the main sponsor area to
get to a rear area for the special events.  we can cut things off early
timewise, too-  but if anything, having kids in the back just means more
parents hanging out in the expo hall during happy hour.

Yes, I suppose that’s a point. I was just thinking about having kids in the
same vicinity as a happy hour. I suppose it’s not too different from the
game night.
