"if the children themselves could make their own computers it would be even better (see Raspberry Pi and 3D printed cases)" I love this idea of letting children/students build their own computers. If it's designed well, it could be both educational and economical. They can learn about the parts and what they do - processor, memory, storage device, etc. - while they're putting them together. Then they can explore the operating system and start programming their own applications..
