FUZOMA is a collection of over 40 entertaining educational programs.

Pre-reading, English vocabulary, math, logic, science, music, computer literacy, and more. Only the most imaginative, most engaging, and most effective programs have been hand-picked from a rich history of educational software that goes back over twenty years.

FUZOMA is bootable from CD or USB.

You don't have to install anything if you don't want to.  Your computer doesn’t even need a working hard drive.

FUZOMA is accessible.

The project was started at a primary school for the Deaf in Kenya.  It works for the neediest learners, and it works on the oldest computers (tested on a 386 with 8MB RAM!).

FUZOMA is unique.

No other bootable software distribution bundles this kind of variety into a kid-friendly package.
Oh, and it's small enough to fit on a floppy.

And it's free.

p.s.

I guess it uses a non-standard floppy format to squeeze out the maximum storage capacity.
