Heck, even sell cool educational toys like model kits that let you build a tiny solar windmill, programmable arm, whatever. I see all these cool model kits/toys here in Asia that I wish I had as a kid. I just bought my nephew a reconfigurable solar model kit that is 6-in-1: Build a solar windmill, a solar powered car, a solar powered walking bug, solar powered spinner, solar-powered boat/hoevercraft, solar-powered hopping robot (well, it "tries" to walk).
Bought a kit to build a very simple radio and transmitter for another nephew. And I bought for a third nephew (yes, I have lots of nephews) a solar kit that lets him use an empty water bottle as the "chasis" so he can learn the effects of solar-power and also of weight/design/creativity. Yes, there are some DIY educational kits available in the US but they all seem so boring and not inviting to lots of young kids.
