My apologies if this is something you have already explored:
Pitsco-DACTA sells the Mindstorms components in an education format called
Robolab. Go to: http://pitsco-legodacta-store.com/ search on W990084 for the
starter set (4 units + software site license). There are lots of other
topics/curricula sets for expanding the activities.
