I suggested trying to start a maker-movement style "International Take It Apart Day" a few years back.
Most people who responded were not enthusiastic:

Maybe, bring some stuff to a school along with tools, and invite people to take it apart, maybe some live tear-downs, a bunch of blog entries, etc. To me, it's not just about learning or teaching electronics, it's about creating a space and time once a year where it people are encouraged to be curious about what makes the physical world around them go. Most people in their LIVES will not even consider for a moment how a car engine or TV work, nor will they ever get a chance to fully appreciate the creativity and effort that it takes to turn sand into an iPhone. I personally don't get it, because I like to know how EVERYTHING works. It gives me a lot of pleasure and, of course, makes the world a lot less mysterious.

PS -- I can't resist the impulse to opine on teaching kids Ohm's law. I actually would teach them that it's not a law at all, but a property of material, and not all materials behave that way; in fact, the most interesting ones don't. Build a simple current source variable from 1 to 100mA, powered by a 9V battery, and put it in a box with a knob. Hand it to some kids along with a voltmeter and a 100ohm resistor and a diode, and tell them to adjust the current and measure the voltage and make a graph of each. 12 years olds can make a graph.
