Koko Ed is right, once again. I don't think I've ever seen anyone stay excited through all of the awards and the closing ceremony- in fact, I've seen a lot of people who have fallen asleep. It not that the kids don't respect the people speaking or have zero interest in what they say, it's just that they've been running around for three days between two buildings, staying up too late at night, and have been intensely involved in something they are very passionate about which is just about to get more exciting... and then someone who is presenting an award gets up and goes off on what is a tangent from the excitement on Einstein, a 20 minute speech with a bit of a political agenda, which keeps sounding like it is going to end but continues anyway. I've enjoyed some of the speeches I've heard, but it really is hard to have your robot ready to go on Einstein and forget about all of that excitement and adrenaline so you can sit patiently and focus on someone giving a long speech.
