In addition to what Max suggested, there are a bunch of online learning courses for the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. I've been writing software (embedded, Desktop, Control and Web) since the 1980s and just got a Pi for my birthday from my nephew. I haven't been so excited about something since my first project building prototype instrumentation on an 8051 core back in the early nineties. In fact I'm having a difficult time deciding on my first project with it. If this can get an old guy like me this excited about something that I've been doing for 30 years then I have to assume it's going to be interesting to at least some of your students. I don't know if the $35 + microSD cost entry fee would be too expensive for the school though. In any case, best of luck!
