Much of the Raspberry Pi content is aimed at getting kids involved in
coding. Here is a listing of projects from the foundation:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/resources/ - Depending on the reception it might
be worth organizing a class.

I think that it would be worth bringing any available Rpi units and some
setups for them, at least one 'traditional' KVM style setup and something
more exotic like a Wi-Fi enabled Pi configured to accept SSH connections
through Connectbot <http://code.google.com/p/connectbot></http:>or some similar
Android/iOS software.

It would be easy enough to load a presentation on a PI and use a projector
as the main display, or use the RaspBMC <http://www.raspbmc.com></http:> build to
play an HD video.

Here's a link to a distro with a bunch of game emulators pre-configured
from the SEGA Genesis down to the ZX Spectrum- ChameleonPI
<http://chameleon.enging.com/emulators>Maybe someone with ROMs for them
could set up a gaming station?

I have one Model A unit that I could bring if that helps anyone.
