Thanks for all the info folks.  I'm responding to everyone's comments here.

I have more info now... The kids are mostly non-techies, and they mostly=20
don't own computers.  They're coming into our makerspace for a STEM=20
session for a couple/few hours, part of which will be 3D printing, and=20
part of which will be electronics.
I don't know these kids.  It's much easier planning for my high-school=20
robotics kids as I know their techie levels.

I agree with wowing/surprising them and I'd ideally like them to take=20
something back.  Also it must be low-cost as their school would cover=20
that cost and budget is low.
We've mostly come up with a plan to have them make a keychain for=20
themselves -- 3D print the housing (which would be mostly printed in=20
advance though we'll show the whole process including CAD), and learn=20
basic electronics and assemble a small PCB with an LED light bar,=20
battery holder and resistor, then assemble it all.

Cheers,
-Neil.
