Kids judge R2-D2 droids built by Facebook, Google and Fitbit
Last Wednesday, a group of 24 children from the ages of 7 to 12 gathered at Lucasfilm headquarters in San Francisco. They laughed and chattered with excitement, had their pictures taken next to the Yoda fountain and squealed at the sight of R2-D2. They were there to attend a "Droidathon," where participants competed to see who could build the best R2-D2 lookalikes out of LittleBits' Droid Inventor Kit. But the kids weren't there to compete; they were there to judge.
