=Kids @ BETT 2012=

BETT 2012 is taking place at Olympia in London from Wednesday 11th to Saturday 14th January 2012.

BETT is all about education, and therefore fundamentally about children, and over the past few years the highlight of the show for many has been presentations by, or involving, children themselves.

This year, we wanted to create a central list of where you will be able to find children presenting during BETT 2012, and you can find these listings below.

Presenting at BETT can be a very daunting (but rewarding) experience for the children- so please do come along and show your support!

At BETT this year, children are mainly getting involved in 3 different types of activity:-


 * **KidsMeet Takeovers**- following on from the huge success to TeachMeet Takeovers over the past few years, Scholastic have kindly agreed to let groups of children take over their stand! These presentations are non-commerical and most things shared in will be free and available to all.
 * **LearnLIVE -** this is the 'seminar' program at BETT 12. Sessions cost £15 to book in advance, but any tickets that are remaining are available on the day for free.
 * **Product based presentations-** these are presentations which focus on a particular product. However the children have not been given a script to follow and will be showcasing what they think of the product, service etc.

You can find out more information about the different groups of children on the 'The Children' page. As well as presenting, the children are also looking forward to exploring BETT and having some fun! If you are an exhibitor and think children would enjoy visiting your stand during their time at the show please do get in touch with the 'lead adult' for each group- their details can also be found on the 'The Children' page.

If you are bringing children to BETT please edit this Wiki to add your details + 'listings', if you have any questions or problems get in touch with @tomhenzley on twitter :)

We look forward to seeing you at the show!
