Forms of instant-messaging are often good because they can be simple, immediately applicable, and inherently social so you have a chance of sparking a group of 3-5 nerdy kids running with it.

A neat thing would be if you can open up chrome developer tools console on two machines. Then, open up a websocket between the two so that you can talk between the two.

Bonus points if:

- you can send images/gifs

- it can be a chatroom

Post instructions on how to do this to a github page with a highly-memorable name. That way they can go home and do the same thing on the cheap chromebook their family can afford.
