If you're interested in going to schools, then you

Something else to factor in, though, is the development of the
session content and any necessary materials.
Getting the kids editing themselves might be a good thing.
Interactive whiteboards are becoming pretty standard in schools
nowadays. I don't think a laptop is necessary.
Also, would the wikimedians going be paid for their time, or would
they have to volunteer it? If you pay for their time, then you tend
to get a lot more people interested in doing a session...
I think many Wikimedians would be willing to do it for free. Paying
people to do it is a bit of a luxury, that cannot be afforded yet
don't you think?
