The STM32F411 is quite capable, don't know anything about generating VGA bu= t it sounds like a cool idea. If you get tired of mbed or want a full dev and debug package I heartily re= commend Atollic TrueStudio. The free edition is very nice. Easy to install = and they have lots of videos and papers on their website. Also STMCubeMX is= good for getting your clocks and peripherals set up. I use the standalone = version but they also have a plugin for TrueStudio.

Subject: [EE] NUCLEO-F411RE based educational project idea needed. Thinking of giving a try to NUCLEO-F411RE STM32 devboard I bought some months ago. The project is for local school to teach EE basics. I think of using mbed.org online platform. I tried it with demo blinks using C, it works and its easy. Maybe demo oscilloscope using the devboard to illustrate programming a microcontroller in C? The devboard to generate VGA output to use big screen or a projector? Some analog front-end to boost input impedance and range? The oscilloscope could later be used in educational process.
