According to this page, Clojure runs on Raspberry Pi, but it doesn't appear that anyone has tested Maxima on it yet.

Even a slow $35 Maxima server should have some interest for high schools!
I'm sure that the next version of this device will include builtin wifi, and even now, wifi dongles cost about $2 on Amazon (you probably want to add a powered USB hub to expand the USB ports).
