[Edu-sig] Now I went and did it!

[Jason Cunliffe]

Hi Steve

very happy to pitch in with good ideas but first please can you tell us:

- What ages?
- What was shown already? [specifically]
- How long do you have?
- Will it be people gathered around one machine or is there a projector?
- When is presentation due?

Jason
