You can buy Vex kits. Those are always fun to play with, and you could run a mini-competition with them. Also use the summer to get some fundraising and community awareness in.

and
West Point Bridge Builder(it is a download game)

Both are great fun and really stress engineering thought processes. Both are free. I know its not the same as building a bot in the real world, but you can set up challenges and see who can make the best design. Have fun with it.
