I know of some academics who were involved in creating a "computer lab in a box" for developing countries. They implemented it in Micronesia, and also had a pretty interesting story about connecting up the island with the lab to the main island by wi-fi so it could get internet. The box itself became the computer desk, because even the desk is something you can't take for granted on the ground. Maybe you ought to think about doing some project like this for schools in a country you care about: http://www.policyinnovations.org/ideas/innovations/data/0002...
