I suggest alter the format of the meeting to a show-then-tell format.
The first hour or two for demos and the talks/discussion afterwards.
I am sure that would suit children and parents better.
Also personally I prefer to see, then hear about something interesting,
and discussion is likely to be more informed as well.

My 2p!
