How about *this* for a group project:

  1) Collect the applications that are needed for each educational group
(1-5,6-8,9-12, and possibly 13-16)

  2) configure it as a bootable business card or regular CD.

  3) burn some nice samples, hell I'd even be willing to break out the
old silkscreen press and print them up with some nice graphic (but
***please*** limit the design to 1-2 colors, I *might* be willing to do
a standard 4 color on a very limited basis).

  4) show up to the kickoff with an alternative.  Picture the stunned
look on their faces when you pull a CD out of your wallet, boot up a
machine, do your work, save it to floppy/zip/CDRW, and you are on your
way...
