pythonanywhere.com may also be a good option, though I haven't tried it out
and I'm a little fuzzy on whether the free plan would cover everything
needed.  But either wakari or pythonanywhere is much more powerful than
anything I knew existed before PyCon!  (speaking of economic privilege)

Your suggestions on getting hardware, teaching hardware, etc. may still be
the way to go, but this at least makes the "learn in a web browser" option
available.
