We're on hand at Facebook's big F8 developer conference in San Francisco.

We'll be bringing you coverage of the keynote live as it happens -- it kicks off in a few minutes, at 1 pm ET.

But there's plenty of cool interactive stuff outside the keynote hall to keep us entertained while we wait.

Check some of them out here.
