Even better, perhaps the lesson could be how to make the sliderule. Now that would be a challenge and a half. I know, I'm an evil genius. If they want technical merit as well, they could embed a little 10-digit LCD display that shows the current number to two D.P. for one of four scales. That exercises the tech geniuses among them.
