This way, if necessary, the machines can be booted securely. No intro material is necessary, it's hands on meaning I work very hands on and one on one with each student (all university level) who usually already understand the general concepts.

I'm actually working with a few people in Kenya on something similar with some decent computer skills, but little programming background. What do you usually use as intro material or projects?
