I came across this little start-up in the blogosphere: http://sparktruck.org/

"SparkTruck is an educational build-mobile! We’re traveling across the USA with cool 21st-century shop tools, spreading the fun of hands-on learning and encouraging kids to find their inner maker."

Something to share with your education/school contacts!

Thanks for sharing! Also note the successful Kickstarter funding. Have you seen any attempts to use crowd funding & social media to fuel experiments in city government? Kickstarter for a public art project, police dog, or citizen engagement effort? Some participation could come from engaged locals, but others nationally might support a good cause.

I haven't researched that, but it sounds like a great idea. I think people like one-off donations for specific causes. Funded-and-done, so they can say, "I helped build that."
