I wonder if Radio Shack is going to implement a DIY education system or something. I don't know how to build stuff with Arduino but if they had a little kiosk that showed how you could set up and program a hello world (led blinking) in Arduino I'm sure it could interest some people who had no idea what Arduino is.

Back in the day, I learned a lot about basic electronics and computer design from their old "Engineer's Notebooks" (e.g. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10852491&clickid=prod_cs http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=108524...) and some books they sold about TI's line of microprocessors. If they wrote new books for Arduino, that would be a great start. I might even play around with hardware again (haven't touched it since I got my EE degree).

That, and maybe they could also host kids' birthday parties where they worked on one if these little projects.
