Really? I'm not too knowledgable about 8-yr olds and I'm certainly not telling you what to do with yours, but if you were to get them to explain what they learned about the binary counting system you feel that it would make sense and reveal that some underlying concepts were genuinely understood?

You can see my other comment on here, but hours after the demo I asked my 8yo to explain binary to my wife. He explained how 101 in binary is 5 pretty well.
