  Building the JDM style serial port programmer and using either dos/win
software or (my) 'picprog' linux/freebsd software to program it to do
something blinkenlicht style would give the kids a lot of skills from
ground up and also would leave them with a working programmer to take
home.  Maybe use 12f675 for extra points and wow factor on how small can a
programmable computer be and how any hobbyist can still work with it.

  I think I heard there are schools doing just that but forgot where they
were.
