Re: Demo Ideas

It depends on the age of the audience and the venue (and the venue's size limitations). Here's what our team has done at smaller venues.

At Elementary school demos (eg. during a Science Fair), our students will set up a simple 'knock em over' game and let the kids drive a VEXbot.

One of our mentors has provided his Parallax Scribblers, Boe-Bots, and "walkers" for entertainment.

NXT is great for kids whether or not they've had any prior FLL exposure. Bring a laptop for programming!
