Protein Engineering in Middle & High Schools?

New tools in the protein design space seem to drop nearly daily now, and many of these are free to all, open source, or at least free for non-commercial use.  Since I'm in the cloud lab business, and we have workflows built or all but built that can support many protein engineers, I'm very curious about to whom I might market such services.  Given the ease of running these tools, will we see students at levels much below college start taking on protein engineering as part of the curriculum or as special projects?
