Hypercard GS is available now, as far as I know, and I believe that
there is a Mac utility to assist in translating Mac stacks to Hypercard.
 
Spinnaker's Plus is, in theory, a superset of Hypercard and runs on
both the Mac and PC, so you should be able to use it to run Mac
Hypercard stacks on an MS-DOS machine.
 
Another suggestion. You should get a set of stacks called Kids Can Save
the Earth. I believe that it is available from BMUG. Certainly sounds
relevant to what you are doing.
