All tables are the narrow 6 foot tables (perhaps 18" wide). Skirting, electrical and a small theme banner will be provided. Schools should bring science fair style displays or other ideas as you see fit. Laptops with LCD flat panels are the choice for presentations as there is not enough space for projectors. Wifi is in place and should support broadband services for you.

Layout: []

Interactive Classroom: This area will have a table dedicated to each mini-lesson setup in the classroom for the presenters. An extra table just outside the door to the classroom will also be available for additional display space if desired. Follow-up discussions should move out the side door so the next lesson can kick off on time. The back area of the interactive classroom will have tables with printed materials and a bank of 3 EeePCs for attendees to tinker with. The lessons will happen at the front of the room allowing observers to watch from the back or browse materials/netbooks on their own.
