I'm working on developing a programming course for teenage students from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, some of whom will not have access to their own laptops. I was thinking the Pi could be a great option here (of course it requires separate display/keyboard, so I'm still weighing the value prop here). Does anyone have experience with something like this?
