Kathie:
We did a demo earlier this year at a Book Festival down town. The tent we did the demo in also had arts and crafts tables lining the walls for the age group that you are targeting. What we found out because of our close proximity to the arts and crafts booth and the draw of the crowd - was that this is an age group that is in dire need of access to our world of science and technology. Last year's robot had a belt on it that lifted the balls to the shooter. There was one little guy who is 4 and is fascinated by conveyor belts and his mom was so excited that he could spend some time with the team and see how the belt worked. She was encouraging us to provide some workshops and camps for this age group so that their hunger for knowledge can be fed.
I hope to see some posts that have helped this age group and some ideas and suggestions.
Jane
