Escape Velocity this labor day weekend
Micah Markman
Eli and I will likely be going for one of the days; they have a STEAM-POWER kids activity room running from 11-5 Friday/Sat and 10-3 on Sunday I think. There's also Boolean Girl workshops on Friday.
The email I got from NIH:

from the entrance to the hotel hosting the conference (Woodley Park /
National Zoo / Adams Morgan). Legend has it that once upon a time,
people were able to use these tunnels to efficiently travel from place
to place. Alas, those days are long gone, and now eerie moans,
screams and curses from stranded travelers forever expecting delays
and regretting the inconvenience waft up from these pits.
Fortunately, I will be attending by bicycle. ;-) However, should you
dare the horrors, take the escalator up, and upon exiting, turn right
and walk up the long driveway to to the hotel's entrance.
