I displayed also once in a technical school (open door day's - only for 2
afternoons !!) and i got some moving parts as a bridge,windmill, 3 trains,...
and this seems to be more atractive than static models.
I got no problems with children / adults touching things (there where 'don't
touch' signs placed !!).But there where not that many visitors as you got on
your booth,thats for sure.
building up takes a lot of time! Not to mention the time for building the
models !! Don't under estimate this !
It took me 4 months to build some electronics and the models, and 2 day's to
build my 27m² display up (all alone),and got to remove it the same evening of
the last afternoon (also all alone)!!
It took me over 5 hours to do so (putting everything back in carton boxes)
Coming home,exhousted,energy level below zero,with the idee from ...NEVER
AGAIN .
Now, 1 1/2 year later,i'd like to do it again, but not on my own !!
It takes too many energy if you have to do it on your own.
Regards,
Ludo
