I would like to see some other concepts taught using these devices. Specifically clustering, meshing, cloud etc. You get a bunch of these devices and arrange them into a cluster/cloud of nano-nodes and teach kids (teens) how to setup clusters of webservers, memcache, micro-dbs etc. You effectively use the devices to teach large technical infrastructure with tiny physical representations. Here is how I would do it: I would whiteboard out a network diagram showing the different layers of tech infrastructure in contemporary cloud designs. Draw the nodes and connections. Define the role of nodes in each layer: Firewall, load balancer, web server, memcache, app server, db server Then do a micro-config for each of these and run them on the little buggers. Get velcro tape and tape them onto the diagram in the appropriate location. Physically wire them all together. Have it run a website that the students build. Run analytics... This would be the ultimate in showing them how The Tubes actually provide them with the data they view every day. By drawing this, then physically attaching the units to the diagram and running it there will be ZERO confusion and I guarantee that every student will grok the internet more fully. The thing does not need to be high performance - but it does need to be fault tolerant. Have the students pull devices out while its running and they are watching monitoring. Have some subjectively F5-ing the little site they made while you drop a few nodes. Hell, I am ready to do this... anyone want to help me get some of these devices/similar devices?
