Kids & Interaction

We had some kids come in today, they got to see what we do and try out some of the toys. You can learn a ton watching kids interact with this table. It was amazing watching them learn how to use the table with no explanation. They would teach each other as they figured out new features. I have a ton of new ideas to take from this.
