Thanks for the answers - these are incredibly helpful! I'll make sure 
your answers are followed up on and we'll have more questions this 
Friday, I'm sure. ;) If you have any questions/requests for the teams, 
post them too!

Ideas to bring up during the discussion? What do you think the kids 
should be told / be responsible for? (If you have ready access to a 
middle-schooler, please get their thoughts on this!)

Since not everyone will be able to see the actual deployment (for 
schedule reasons if nothing else), what info/docs do you want to see 
from it? A writeup? Pics/video? Some of these are probably already 
planned to happen, I'm guessing... I'm planning on taking my camera, at 
least. Also note that parental permission is needed to publicly release 
media featuring minors, so advance planning on this would be really helpful.
