Oooo Buttons. How about a few of the giant Wikipedia stickers? Those are always favorites (and generally hidden away for good measure).
Anyways, I was curious myself if anything was going to be happening this year. So I'm totally game to help out how ever is needed. I can gather desktop computers to be used (if someone can find monitors) and related networking gear - should it be useful.

There actually is an 'education' day beforehand where exhibitors can get in front of a massive school audience.
I think aligning with any other volunteer groups would be fab too - students for free culture? EFF and creative commons will probably have tables set up there. Being close by would make a lot of sense. Wish I could commit some more resources, but I can say that this time next year we should be in a better position to have people and stuff to share.
That being said, I could probably provide a few more bags of buttons etc.

wait, wait -- could you import a busload of children from the rural bayosphere? I bet they would feature a school fieldtrip as part of their educational program...

MF was amazing. where else can you get firebreathing robots and sockpuppet-making kits? I hope to come out again.
Was wikihow there last year? How about "how to share great maker ideas", with a double booth shared with wikihow, showing off neat wikiversity tutorials, maker-style wikibook drafts, and where to publish amazing animated diagrams and schematics? You could highlight some of the fine illustrations from recent contests / from the philg project...

And a sockpuppet-making workshop!
