Distributed password cracking? It's really simple yet potentially engaging and could be a good segway into teaching them about computability and security. All you need is a bunch of password hashes and a wordlist.
At the moment, that's pretty much what my example is. I'm hanging on to other people's examples in the event that I get the chance to make use of them. And, yes, I intend to use it as an opportunity to talk about security issues. Thanks for confirming that the idea is at least credible.
