Yes, this is for sure of interest to adults. In fact, we need for the 
adults to be with the kids rather than dropping them off if they're 
under 18. I obviously wasn't clear enough and will tweak the Meetup page 
later today.

Terry King has deep experience and designed his hardware, for example, 
the "RoboRed" Uno compatible that is better in every way than the 
original (e.g. a slide switch that can make the whole thing run at 3.3v 
vs the standard 5v, a 3.3v supply that won't go belly up with even 
moderate loads, etc). I have no experience with his software background 
but I guarantee there will be attendees who can pitch in if necessary to 
fill gaps in that area if there are any.
