Favorite Pi educational resources & youth projects?

Happy Friday, all!  I compiled the following list earlier this afternoon when a co-worker asked me what good educational resources and youth project I knew of for the Raspberry Pi.  I'm sure folks in this group have plenty more cool ones that I've missed, so I'd appreciate any links or advice anyone might have to offer.

    We are currently working on a new project called Laika, which will allow schools or individuals to do some robotics using a Raspberry Pi. Creator Andy Bakin and Kitronik director Kevin Spurr are trailing the product in a school at the end of the week. When available (in October) there will be loads of easy to follow examples of using the product aimed at people with very limited programming knowledge. To find out more head to:
