We've tried this and it can work, but note that you'll need a lot more
than 15 minutes.

Also, it is a bit much to do all in one session: motivate Sugar, help
get them up and running, and experience Sugar. Id be curious if you
could figure out a way to get people to get Sugar running BEFORE the
session and then use the session for "guided discovery" and
discussion.

Thanks for the report.
