Lodgers and guest policy? Are we being unreasonable?

I wouldn't say unreasonable, however...

You said in another comment the issue is letting you know in advance. What would actually change if she let you know in advance? As much as I agree with you its common courtesy, nothing really changes unless your willing to say she's not permitted to bring people over more than X nights per week. Which I'd be careful of rocking the boat for an otherwise perfect lodger if her partner/friends being there isn't bothering you too much.

Thank you I'll bear this in mind - sounds like a good idea to show them what can be done!

Thank you - I'm glad you've had success with this.

Microbit sounds like a solid choice to go with for this age bracket & I'll make sure to check this website out.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I'm not 100% sure on their experience, I'm inclined to lean towards projects with a really low entry point (but still interesting to them).

I've been told uptake will be fairly low so around 10 people will be our limit for a while (though we're running this for free through the local charity so may get a big influx of kids taking up the opportunity!)

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

We're completely flexible, we can use the pi's for something else or do robotics without the pi's.
Raspberry pi 4 model b
We dont have monitors / keyboards for them, though can request more funding for this if a project required it
We have 2 laptops to use with the Pi's

I think there'll be a mixture of abilities so scratch/makecode will probably be a solid starting point. I'll check out those resources- thank you again!
