Totally agree, this is great stuff. Every school could have a "music programming lab" with inexpensive Sonic Pi workstations. They are easy to mass produce. I hope teams of parents get together and fund these for their local schools. I put together my own from a Pi 2 and mostly spare parts.
Pi 2, case, power supply (Adafruit $65 shipped)
8g Micro SD w/ Raspian Linux (spare parts)
Keyboard, Mouse (spare parts)
Speakers or headphones (spare parts)
HDMI, Ethernet cables (spare parts)
Monitor (just used my TV)
You can also run Sonic-Pi on a PC/Mac, which would let some kids continue their explorations outside of the lab.
