What is a typical day at the Festival for an exhibitor?
Hmmm typical? Depending on the type of activity you have, you may find you get asked many questions, give a ton of demonstrations, or just get lots of kids started on an activity. Upon arrival there is a certain professional buzz in the exhibit hall. Exhibitors are putting the finishing touches on their activities. Festival staff are helping exhibitors, classroom presenters, and registration volunteers get ready for the arrival of students. Exhibitors may wander the exhibit hall to see what other exhibits are around. Once the Festival begins, approximately seven classrooms of students may be in the hall at one time. The students, along with their teachers and chaperones, begin to circulate among the exhibits. Be prepared to initiate conversation with kids who observe from a distance and just need an invitation to step into your exhibit. Students may ask questions or you may need to ask them questions. You can launch into a presentation, or let the students discover what your exhibit is
