Last year’s fair drew 2,000 people from across the Pacific Nor- thwest. The display space this year has been quadru- pled to meet both demand for wider scope of displays, and also to accommodate the increased resources now catering to the independent learner market. Exhibits will include com- puters, educational games and toys, hobbies, and alternative school displays. Workshops will give the basics of home education, starting small schools, meeting the needs of excep- tional children at home, and demonstrating how families can learn and earn together through cottage industries. Special lectures will focus on topics such as Education in the Future, Why we need Vouchers, Issues in Science Teaching, Preserving Freedom of Choice, and Education Malpractices. ; A unique demonstration will show how satellite dishes will be used in the future to enable home learners to ac- cess a wide range of educa- tional resources from across the world.
