Nice! Hadn’t heard of this project. The old chromebooks are easy to find in e-waste lots, mostly from schools. Hardware’s not ancient. Presumably optimized for web services. Just a lot of broken screens and keyboards.
But if you stack ‘em like server blades in a beowulf cluster you might have a decently power-efficient and scalable host for microservices, web apps, lemmy instances, whatever. With UPS for each node lol. Basically free.
I dunno, could be a fun class project for the kids to learn on with a minimal budget?

I like your ideas, even though I don't understand it all. :)
Tell the kids I am counting on them!!!
