I don't feel it's against list rules.  You're helping your students
with an experiment by creating paddling gear for those on the list.  You
aren't looking to make money, just getting help to get the project to
happen.

You may even coax one or more of the students out into a boat ;-)

Those who disagree are welcome to discuss this with me backchannel.
