Im Rahmen der vergangenen FrOSCon gab es mal wieder die Froglabs an denen diesmal mehr als 60 Kinder teilnahmen. Der Andrang im Vorfeld war so groß, dass vielen interessierten Kindern die Teilnahme leider verweigert werden musste, da sonst eine verantwortungsbewusste Aufsicht nicht mehr möglich gewesen wäre.
