I’m very excited about this, but I won’t be able to participate because of the timing. I don’t think it makes sense to gauge demand based on this offering. Almost everyone at KAUST is at work during the offered time (children are in school and then in their after-school organized activities during this time). Could you please offer this on a weekend?

I completely agree with David Ketcheson. We were really excited about this activity, but the day and timing completely rules it out. Your assessment will be based on skewed results. Please consider offering this on a weekend.
