Well, if RunRev decided to promote among students
an Award for Excellence in the creation of multimedia
projects using LiveCode (like ISTE's Multimedia Mania...)
would be easier to find LiveCode's evangelists.

By the way, I was a judge in Multimedia Mania 2004
and many schools send excellent multimedia projects.

Sadly 2005 appears to have been the last time that competition took place.

Possibly the world has changed since 2005, and possibly for the better.

All the software listed for those competitions seems to be commercial, closed-source software; and I don't know whether that software was purchsed by the schools or by the parents. Notwithstanding that would, inevitably, result in social exclusion in a way where children are penalised for the fact that their parents cannot pay; and that is not good.

It would be perfectly possible to do all the stuff that is listed there using Open Source and/or Free software on an Open Source operating system today on some fairly tatty second-hand computer, and that has to be good.

Here's a list of software which might prove useful for school children to use [most of these have versions for Windows and Macintosh if
their school/parents feel "all funny" about Linux] which cost nothing:

Runtime Revolution Livecode

GIMP

Inkscape

FontForge

Audacity

Kompozer
