<div dir="ltr">Have you tried getting in touch with the guys at MAKE running the Makerspace Program? They're putting makerspaces/hackerspaces into US schools, and I imagine they'll need kits and resources for teaching how to make stuff.<div>
<br></div><div style>I'm also in touch with Sparkling Science in Sweden - they're spreading the idea of hackerspaces in schools through a short movie and 'black boxes' taken to schools and put in public art installations. Each black box is interactive and contains components to make cool stuff. Mostly Makey Makey at the moment AFAIK, but Arduino might be useful as beginner makers get more advanced.</div>

We can do wholesale pricing for any hackerspace for 5 or more
kits. That puts it at $15 each plus shipping.</div>

Awesome, once our move is finished I'd like to work on some Arduino
workshops using the codeshield.<div class="im"><br>

<div>I looked at kickstarted to begin with, but they don't work
for non-US folk, and at the time, 'an indie-go-go' campaign just
wasn't getting the same traction as a kickstarted one, as we
could do without. I could do a kickstarter campaign to have the
curriculum properly developed, perhaps? other ideas?</div>

Actually, last I checked you only need someone who's an American
citizen (who's involved in the project) to apply and run the
Kickstarter campaign. Also because they send the funds with Amazon
payments which is US-only.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
