This could be a great teaching tool, BUT at about $375 per Mothbox, it's going to be a hard sell for most schools.

Edit: also if schools were to be interested in this (which they should be, it’s very neat) they could group together and buy in bulk which would also greatly reduce the price
This is the obstruction to using them in an educational setting. If they were available for $600+ each but already completely built (minimal DIY), they would be more likely to get into (some) schools.
Just needs motivated teachers, if you ask me. I assume the mothbox is more of a high-school project, building one seems on that level as well.
Def just needs motivated teachers!
