+10 points for introducing a kid to engineering. Find a potential future engineering somewhere, anywhere, and spend half an hour talking with them about engineering. Turn in a description of your 'visit'.
+10 more points if you do a hands on engineering or science activity with them. Show them how to measure a circuit with your MyDAQ, or check out these many online resources for ideas. Turn in a photo, video, or upload to youtube and submit a link of your project.

Your local library has lots of books of hands on science projects.
I can also assist in additional materials you can use to take to classes, boy/girl scout groups, etc.
