Despite Tony's remarks, I wouldn't dismiss the Raspberry Pi 3 or similar
single board computer (est. 80USD for basic kit w/ 8GB SD without screen).

I have an idea to try to deploy them in cultural / community / youth

They are cheap enough that parents might afford them, plus possibly they
will kill TV time which is goooood.
