Maybe not a key part but certainly a part. Hosting a Maker Event
ought to high up their list but they hadn't paid much attention to
that area. They have a few Raspberry Pi kits, one or two Aurdino's
and just a handful of things from the huge range of Adafruit
products.

I wouldn't be surprised if you dug about a bit to find funding for
such events from a STEM budget somewhere.
