-Do you have a phenomenal demo you want to show off? Do you need help with your awesome project? Are you working on experiment or idea that needs feedback?

-'''The Drumbeat Festival will hold a Science Fair on opening night.''' The idea: show off what you've got and seek out collaborators for the next two days.
+'''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.
-The Science Fair is scheduled on Wednesday, November 3 from 9pm – 11pm. It will take place as part of the opening reception, following a keynote by Creative Commons CEO Joi Ito. We'll have tables, chairs, power-outlets...and cocktails! Other participants will wander around the exhibits, stopping to chat, watch demos, ask questions, and generally just dive in and talk about stuff.
+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>
-This will be '''your first chance to present something at the Festival''' -- 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.
+'''There will be prizes for participants who interact with the most exhibits!'''
-===Sign up, space is limited!===
+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.
-While we'd love to have every Summit attendee participate in the Science Fair, we only have so much time and space. There are a limited number of slots available, which will be assigned on a first-come-first-served basis.
