+Drumbeat Festival Opening Reception &amp; Science Fair =
-'''The Drumbeat Festival will hold a Science Fair on opening night.''' The idea: get a taste of what your fellow festival-goers are doing 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.
+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 get the scope of the Festival''' -- research, prototypes, demos, crazy ideas, experiments, trials, tests, investigations, studies, whatever -- in a casual setting with some of the smartest people working on open education on the web today.
+'''There will be prizes for participants who interact with the most exhibits!'''
-The Science Fair is scheduled on Wednesday, November 3 from 8:30pm – 11pm. It will take place as part of the opening reception, highlighted by a brief keynote by Creative Commons CEO Joi Ito.
