Kayak building in the Classroom

Hi There, Does anyone have any experience building one of the S&G kits in an older elementary/middle school classroom setting? (I'm talking about 5-8 graders).

I've built two CLC Chesapeakes and thought that it would make a great activity in the classroom - I happen to have a "non-traditional" school setting in mind and a group of teachers who are open to the idea. (I might be trying this idea this coming Fall).

On another note, if anyone is looking for a great pack to take on kayaking expeditions please check out this link. It's a great pack.
