-Do you need help with an awesome project you're working on? Do you have a phenomenal demo you want to show off to your fellow Mozillians? Are you working on experiment or idea that needs feedback or testers?
+'''Get a sense of the scope of the Festival and seek out collaborators for the next two days''' -- in a casual setting with some of the smartest people working on open education on the web today.
-At the Drumbeat Festival you'll have your chance to show off what you've got and talk with your fellow Mozillians about it face-to-face!
+Remember Science Fairs in grade school? &nbsp;The Drumbeat version involves grown-ups and cocktails, but it's pretty much the same concept. &nbsp;Smart people who are passionate about their super-cool projects -- research, learning models, web projects, software, experiments -- want to show you what they're working on and get your feedback and ideas. They'll bring out their prototypes, wireframes, maps, charts, and crazy ideas while you explore and engage.'''&nbsp;'''The Science Fair will include tables for each of the official tents and spaces holding programming throughout the Festival, so you can learn what they've got planned.<br>
-We're creating space at our opening reception for our first ever "Mozilla Summit Science Fair", where participants will set up their laptops and demos in a single large area of the venue that will have an array of tables, chairs, power-outlets...and cocktails! Everyone else will wander around the exhibits, stopping to chat, watch demos, ask questions, and generally just dive in, talk about stuff, and vote on their favorites.
+'''There will be prizes for participants who interact with the most exhibits!'''
-The Science Fair is your chance for you to present something -- research, prototypes, demos, crazy ideas, experiments, trials, tests, investigations, studies, or whatever else -- in a casual setting to some of the smartest and best people working on building and supporting open education on the web today.
+FYI, we've done this before. Check out these [http://www.flickr.com/search/?mt=all&adv=1&w=all&q=moz10+science+fair&m=text Mozilla Summit Science Fair pictures] to get a sense of how awesome it will be.
-'''Space is limited!'''
