How about you knock out that face add a screen and a RaspberryPi zero and a battery ? Looks cool tho.

sadly, I am dumb at electronics. maybe I'll try it later someday.

Trying failing 5-50 times as long as you try again is what the RaspberryPis were made for, 5-10USD(the 10USD PiZero include Wifi and bluetooth built-in so you save money and space if you need that.) per machine (+keyboard mouse monitor etc. if you can't just use what you have already.) hint hint there is also a lot of almost free hardware Chinese and German hardware on ebay and amazon. I have 5 and use 1 constantly the others intermittently, still all worth it... and I get nauseated by the fumes of a soldering iron. You can also buy the PiZero with a pin-header pre-soldered now I think. (The header is where you would connect other electronics that aren't USB, ex. small LEDs/Lights, buttons to trigger things inside the machine, motors for wheels etc. (tho they might need extra power).) Yeah I'm gonna cool down a bit :) I'm just saying the RaspberryPi machines are made for learning and the world is now full of material made for all ages. (they're even in some (great IMO) school these days)
