Nice idea. Of course, you'd still need a gathering place, keyboards, mice and screens, but the idea of letting people take them home to continue progging aligns _exactly_ with the idea behind the RPi. Watch Eben Upton's PyCon keynote to hear the full doctrine :) http://pyvideo.org/video/1668/keynote-2 (highly recommended watch).
There may already be material available in the RPi/teaching community. Depending on the target audience it may need rewriting/translating, but the RPi/RPi community could be a very good start here.
