That's hilarious, and awesome. Reminds me of the Nuts for Jericho campaign. I would love to see this take off in that way. If you really get the internet behind something and it takes off, you'd have enough sent over there to where every kid in the whole school district could build one!

Yep, I sent 5 kits worth, lets hope they get to someone and not the trash.

Right it is a makeup case that you can get online or at Target. I have a pair of them. One has Arduino stuff in it (board, shields, cable, power brick, etc.) and the other has the stuff for a Raspberry Pi demo. They are small, sturdy and come in colors. (Blue is Arduino since the board is blue). They can bang around in the back of the car and not damage the electronics.
1/2 of the effort in any electronics project is trying to find a case, getting knobs mounted and labeled so it all looks nice. He took the time to put the school mascot on it. Evil Geniuses don't do that (ok,maybe a "shark with laser sticker", but never Left Shark)
