Torsion Educational Licensing?

For the past couple of months I have had the middle schoolers(6 to 8th grade) at the school where I work using Torque as part of a Digital Art and Design class. As such the class focused entirely on the artistic aspects, so the kids learned to work with 3D Studio MAX to create their own simple art assets, and used the tools within torque to build environment.
Next year the elective class is going to be a programming class. Previously the students have used Scratch and BYOB(also made by MIT) to do some basic coding using visual processes. However, the teacher and the children were so enamored with Torque that the teacher would like to try and use Torque next year, and teach the kids to program in that.
So, I am wondering if Garage Games offers educational licensing for Torsion, and if they would maybe be willing to cut a deal based on this being middle schoolers using the stuff. Its a private school and a certified non-profit.

That's probably something better discussed with Sickhead Games - it's their product. That would be very cool, though.

Sickhead doesn't really handle sales of Torsion directly, they use us as the storefront for that.@Rick
