Hi everyone,
Mike, John, and I were running Angry Birds at the US Science and
Engineering festival <http://www.usasciencefestival.org/> today. We
have good news and bad news:
Good News: Angry birds was a BIG hit. We one of the largest crowds out
of all of the booths I saw. I heard other parents talking about our
booth, and I had parents tell me we had the _only_ booth that their kid
wanted to see. Kids were teaching physics to one another. We
introduced hackerspaces to about 50-100 parents.
Bad News: We had a huge 30-60 minute line from 10am - 6pm. This means
absolutely no breaks, because some poor 5 year old has been waiting
patiently for almost an hour to have his turn. The exhibit takes a
minimum of 3 people to run (one to grab the birds, one to hold the
slingshot, and one to rest/prevent anarchy.) With only 3 of us, we were
nearly overwhelmed.
I can't help tomorrow, so I don't know what John and Mike are going to
do. If you can spare part of your Sunday, they desperately need the
help. I promise that you'll have a lot of fun-- the festival was
extremely interesting.
Rob
