Great pointers. Thanks. I wonder how long this will take to change.

I have a part time job working for Arduino, preparing educational 
materials. One challenge I have is figuring out where Arduino fits in to 
the public school requirements. Simply put, it does not directly, but 
teachers tell me they want to use it to make subjects like electricity 
and magnetism, force and motion more engaging.

Perhaps beyond this, Arduino might be a vehicle for further learning 
about programming and computer hardware.
