Katherine,
Old computers are not worth any person's time or effort - they are basically
slow typewriters.
Think art!
I've had (and will be having again) an art teachers do a creative art lesson
using the guts of a computer. The kids get to explore the insides of a
computer box, learn the names and functions of the parts, learn what tools
to use to remove hardware, etc. They are just fascinated with it all.
They explore computer guts.
They produce a work of art.
They present it to the school.
As a bonus, the now empty computer cases (with their ID numbers intact) are
much easier to stow away once all that weight is removed.
