The set-up of the room looked something like this....


food table.......

The central table held a picnic basket, plastic plates and cups, and a tacky vinyl red and white checkered table cloth. It also held the assorted food choices (at least they started out being there).

testing tables........

Two side tables each had a computer; MIDI board, speakers, power strip, and the probe sensors that we made (plugged into the sensora port of the cricket).

We used theCricket Logo program and made a sample program that visitors altered (depending on their choice of musical instrument) while they tested various foods.

buzzers........

A fourth table, the "Batteries and Buzzers" table was covered with white paper and included several loose buzzers, 9Volt batteries, alligator clips, bulbs, motors, and shallow trays of milk.
