Tinkerkit

I came across a link to Tinkerkit Modules on the Umeå Institute of Design Blog and it may have just opened my eyes to how I can realise my research project.

They are relatively easy to use kits of Arduino modules which include many of the sensors that would be needed in an interactive physics environment. They even market them as devices to be used in school environments, so I'd like to look into this further as a viable hardware option for my project.
