Heh! Maybe format the drive on it, take out all the components and put them beside the computer and then hand then a disk (or USB stick) with Windows on it. Tell them to assemble the PC and then install windows and then make non-administrator accounts (one for each of themselves) and then to get a web browser installed and a word processing program installed (etc) on each account. And they gotta figure it out themselves (they can work together if they want) by using google as a starting point.
(and then check their work when they are done, make sure they didn't get any malware on it.)
If they manage to figure it all out for themselves they'll probably be the most computer savvy kids in their school.

XKCD is really funny at times.

I gotta agree to that, might as well just write a synopsis or lead in in the first paragraph instead. I don't like it much better when they do the TLDR; at the end either (one could do a summary there instead).
Same reason I cringe all the time on youtube at the start or end of videos. To explain what I mean let me tell a very apt joke:
What do you call a YouTuber who turns into a werewolf?
