Does that qualify as a class? I considered it a presentation. Shades of
gray, I guess.

There's an article on this same topic:

Raspberry Pi turned into a portable workstation

  SK Pang Electronics...[combined] a mini wireless keyboard typically
  used with a smartphone, a USB power pack, and an small LCD monitor
  usually found in the backseat of a car.

  All components, including the Raspberry Pi, were mounted on a laser
  cut, transparent base with a specially cut hole acting as a handle for
  carrying the unit around. The difficult bit was figuring out how to
  power both the display and the Raspberry Pi from the single USB power
  pack.

  Another project I'd like to see is someone ripping the guts out of an
  old laptop and fitting a Raspberry Pi inside instead. The end result
  should look like a typical laptop without anyone being able to tell
  there's a $25 PC running inside.
