Ok so - the workshop is coming up on Tuesday.
Members of the team have been meeting for the past few weeks.
The two challenges will be the blimps and the paper towers. Thank you to Greg and to Brandon for offering those suggestions and also helping me via PMs.
Here's a question if anyone is feeling generous in helping me communicate simply. A few of the younger, shyer children will find their way over to me and will likely ask what a blimp is or want to talk about it. Anyone want to tell me a good definition and how it works? One or two sentences geared towards a 7 or 8 year old.
The team members know what they are saying, I, on the other hand - need some help.
