(trying to make lemonaide out of a pile of lemons) sounds like the perfect opportunity to start up the "Southern California FIRST Regional Billion-Button Blow-out!" Give every team a set of button parts, one black and one red Sharpie marker, two minutes of lead time, and 30 seconds of access to the button-making machine. Best artwork/coolest design wins! You can even have sub-competitions, with special prizes for:

- most buttons produced in a 120-second period
- fastest time to create 10 unique buttons
- coloring inside the lines
- fewest life-threatening injuries resulting from first two contests
- highest stack of balanced buttons

Then you can have special seminars to discuss topics like:

- "Piercing with Buttons - fashion trend or fad?"
- "Winning at 'Button, button, who's got the button?'"
- "'Pinning down your financial future - buttons as business"
- "Butt(on)ing in - inserting buttons into social conversation"
- "Was Kermit The Frog just another button freak?"
- "Life Before My Button Vest" by Woodie Flowers
- "Political Action Committe report on changing 'Boston, MA' to 'Button, MA'"

OK, maybe not...
