In India I studied in a school that had only one electric bulb per class and a second hand MS-DOS machine donated by a politician. The school and teachers were glad to let me use it and I am eternally thankful to them for the same. It changed me totally.
We also had awesome electronics equipment lying around which we could use. I used IC-555 when I was in 8th grade to program a flashing LED and I can not explain the joy of doing it in words.

We had a Fortran-77 module (elective) which I took in the hopes of getting a chance to use the computers. However, it turned out that we were supposed to write our code on paper and the teacher would evaluate them by reading them, not compiling them! So the end result was me scoring very well in the exam by writing code on paper, the teacher evaluating it by reading it. Sigh.
