We have Pi-Scratch software available to control hardware through scratch using commands, such as G17ON which will turn GPIO17 On. This project is aimed towards teachers teaching Programming in the new curriculum, Hobbyists, and Professionals who want to use their Raspberry Pi.
Our Aim
We are hoping to see a few boards in schools to help kids to learn how software works / how they can control the world around them. There are many scenarios where this board can come into play such as teaching kids the green cross code, teaching Programming, and many more.
What you get
The board is already sold assembled and ready to use ( The real time clock needs a cell battery to work, we can't sell due to shipping restrictions ).
EDU-v2-E01 full support by our Pi_Scractch can easy control by scratch also test in Raspberry Pi B2, A+, B+ all working ,EDU-v2-E02, EDU-v2-E03 all can work in Raspberry Pi A+/B+/B2

Risks and challenges
We started the kickstarter project in order to reduce overall cost of manufacturing the boards ( More boards ordered = Lower assembly fee ). We currently design & manufacture boards already but this project would be on a much larger scale with more boards ordered and assembled.
The software is already finished but will go through several more phases and updates. As we have been producing excellent quality boards for around 10 years we do not see this as a risk. The software is available in Python to test out all the functions and to start your experience and is also compatible with our Pi-Scratch software which lets you control hardware through Scratch ( MIT produced software for teaching kids ).

To see our previous projects and products go to http://www.pridopia.co.uk/ixx-rspi.html for Raspberry Pi Specific boards.
We already have a small batch of boards running fine and going through the paces with no problems to report.
We are very confident that we will succeed in the 30 -60 Day time-frame and be shipping out products May - June 2015 ( depending on order size, shipping locations, and factory assembly ).
