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

[Lori Barfield]

PVNet said they wanted to host a workshop on their classroom equipment.
but we are 30 days out now, and none of their parents has stepped up to
volunteer yet.  so i'll take the idea of a large scale activity back off
the table.

we'll do something fun on a demo level, if john is still up for it. :-)

i called about the second 3D printer to find out when that person might be
willing to come.  waiting to hear back.
