I would not reccomend doing this at all. When it leaks out this student would be extremely mad- what I would reccomend doing is give him a rather tough task. Since this kid knows it all, tell him not to bother anyone else because they're all focused on their task. Chances are, he'll mess up the part, so partner him up with a senior student who can guide him through the steps.

If nothing else works, I'd have one of the team leaders (student or adult, whatever) have a little 'chit chat' with him. They should directly tell him he does not know everything and this is not a toy. Emphasize how there is no need to impress everyone or to know it all.

good luck- hope this kid learns how to be a productive team member
