RPG Maker VX Ace uses Ruby so that you can write custom scripts not included in the game. Really fun program that you can actually do quite a bit with. Having a class with Ruby followed by making their own game could be fun for kids. Hell, I have a blast and I don't know any Ruby at all!

On the off chance that you're actually interested in the program, it regularly goes on sale for $10 - $15 USD, so I'd definitely wait until then to grab it. Check around Halloween or Christmas!

I've seen it in Humble Bundles I think, have passed it up in the past -- would need a special education license if I was to use it in a classroom though, perhaps if I email them...

Think I will pick it up on sale then decide :)
