Sadly, I fear that $500 on its own would not achieve as much as you would wish. In fact, I wonder whether schools are able to accept such donations these days. But putting that aside, my suggestion is to promote a school science project by offering to match prize money dollar for dollar up to your sum of $500 any funds provided by the school or the P&C or even the students themselves towards that end.
Give the students some ownership of the projects they build.
