[OLPC-Games] Looking for Boston-area kids to judge at the Game Jam next weekend

[Xavier Alvarez]

The idea of kids be the judges is great! Love it. :)

Just keep a tab on the exposure, gaming-level and/or experience of 
the judges themselves (do they own a PS2, what was the last game 
they played, etc).  Many of the target kids may have seen 
computer games, others never...


My 2cts,
Xavier
