UPDATE ! UPDATE ! UPDATE !

unfortunately, they do not accept children. They explained that the workshop begins with a two hour theory session in which they go into details about maps. My opinion is that they are concerned by the children's attention span. Last year they didn't have this problem. What is mistifying is that the event was listed in the Pittsburgh Parent magazine, usually addressing an audience of parents of little ones.
