Contest: create a new kind of science kit for kids

To solve the issue of not having access to materials locally, you could set up a walled-garden internet shop that kids can order from at reasonable prices without their parents’ credit card… well, it would be with their parents’ credit card, but it’d be on an iTunes gift card type system.

That’s actually a great idea. Basically, it would work the same as a parent buying a giftcard for Maker Shed, but instead of it being one site it would link to dozens of sites where you could buy kits and supplies and stuff. You’d be giving the kid a $50 gift certificate for general “scientist supplies.”
