Wish I was in NYC to see it! I think education (especially K-12 education) could stand to take some lessons from museums and computer games in how to allow kids to engage with their content (although I do wish museums would stop taking so many cues from television commercial, as all glitz and little substance is never a good thing). 'Course, the other easy way to get kids interested in networking is to introduce them to online social networking, and gradually move towards letting them manage (and then perhaps build) their own networking software/communities.
