Do keep in mind that you/we were presenting at a place where "hands-on" is a
primary ethos. In most of the exibits adults and children were encouraged to
touch, experiment, and create. The proximity to the Construction Zone
undoubtedly exacerbated this problem.
Also, Mindfest was a place where children (at least the 7+ variety) roamed
essentially free. This was great for most of the kids, but I noticed a few
who needed 24hr supervision by an adult (and probably a psychiatrist as well.)
