Three more to what I already suggested. I don't know what level of interest and expertise these kids have.
NAS
Network backup
Amahi home server, assuming it has been ported over. The drawback is that it uses Fedora. It would be nice if it was packages that could be installed on any distro. Maybe creating an equivalent would be a good project.

1. Build a Website. Include some sort of change control and remote management.
2. Build a game server and configure clients to connect
3. Scratch Programming lessons
4. Build an IRC server
5. ???

Can you think of something fun to do with 3 older laptops, 3 RPi's, 3 BeagleBone Blacks, a small bag of teenagers, and a network?

Beaglebone Black might be an alternative for you. The graphics resolution isn't as high, in case that is important to you. There is internal flash memory too, but it might not be as convenient to boot from the microSD chip as it is on the Pi.

Expensive.
Seriously though, a Prototyping Lab?

Thanks to Aaron for reminding me why I'm so darn conflicted about the Raspberry Pi, and why I keep thinking there's probably a better single-board computer for our Pi Lab.

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
