I burned a few days making small target boards that plug into a solderless breadboard. There is a not so great photo attached. To remove them from the BB you need to pry/lift on the underside as you would a large chip.
The plan is to coat the PCBs top and bottom with Krylon's clear conformal coating but that will not be enough. It needs to be protect from the prying.
The problem with epoxy is that I can never get at the bottom of the board again. Maybe not so bad but messy.
Adding a 2nd board is a lot of work. Maybe if I can find some plastic to use instead of PCB I can get by with just drilling and cutting.
I liked the hot melt glue idea up to the point I pictured one of the kids leaving their project case in the hot car.
If you have an idea I am open to suggestions.

- Coat the bottom with epoxy
- Etch and drill a protective board the slides over the pins
- Hot melt glue a protective layer to the underside
