There is nothing for windows.

Why not ask for permission to use the network instead.

Depending on how much traffic there is on the network... your demo could
last for a couple hours or more!

Sounds reasonable:

The problem is that I couldn't make it work when I tried it. All it
die was belch garbage. It's also a pain to install all the necessary
parts and pieces. Y'er on your own.

I just discovered that Airsnort will work under Cygwin.

I haven't tried it but that looks like the best bet for your demo.

You might also try WepCrack, which is written in Perl. Install
ActiveState Perl and give it a try. (I haven't tried it).

I've done some WEP cracking just to see how it goes. You need at
least 500MBytes of traffic to get anything useable. The exact time
varies with the complexity of the original key. A trivial key will be
easily decoded. A complex mess of Hex garbage can easily take several
days of sniffing and crunching. It also requires "interesting
packets" which basically means lots of big packets.
