[HacktionLab] BarnCamp 2017

[Ben Green]

I think keep forest walk foresty, keep the tech in the barn. Not sure  
there's any logic behind that, just a feeling. Any tech widegames  
should be a separate activity IMHO.

I'm not sure how to pitch it to parents. Some kids will be into the  
tech, others not.

Cheers,
Ben
