Hello all, I have just renewed my membership to one of the professional societies I belong to (kind of have to, I'm on the board of one of the committees). It reminded me of one of their programs to help teachers teach math and science. Actually a good teacher/coordinator can make this program work for arts and letters too.
Anyway, they have programs from primary, elementary, middle and high school classes. They used to give away one kit per year per school (in the US), but not so anymore. Now they'll give you a 25% discount if you work with a volunteer from the society.
If you're interested, here's a list of their different curriculum:

They have things like fuel cell kits, motorized car kits, gliders, electricity/electronics, etc. It is designed that the program is project based, but the activities are divided such that in most cases you can just do one activity at a time, independent of doing the project as a whole.
Sorry if this sounds like an ad for a commercial. I'm posting this as if it's an ad so you won't see me post more unsolicited info for another month ;-)

Toodles!
