I used to have my own materials library some ten plus years ago. Had 4 four drawer filing cabinets of vendor brochures and a garage full of samples. Had to get rid of it all when I moved north though.
I had some that glowy powder stuff too. I mixed some in a type of foam used for making prosthetics, poured it into a small bowl-like plate. Boy did the kids have fun tossing that around the yard at night.
The Sippino 328 is an Arduino clone which you can plug right into your solderless breadboard. Designed to be used with your breadboard, this easy to build kit may be configured a few different ways; as a SIP, DIP, Stand-alone, or free style.
I looked up the glow powder, it’s here:

As I happen to be doing a concrete project, I just might use it as a night light of sorts (bathroom floor).
The block at the end seems to be a light pipe application, really cool idea!

Alas, a Trade Show Junkie no more…
It would be awesome if they had a regular podcast presenting new materials for people that don’t have the advantage of being nearby.
