Software suggestions for a youth stem group? (lemmy.world)

I run a youth stem club and we're getting real laptops donated to the club. None of that Chromebook nonsense. I'm creating a club distro based on Mint using Cubic and I want to include any of the software that we may frequently use. I'm looking for some recommendations for software.

This is what I got so far:

kicad syncthing vlc inkscape libreoffice arduino openarena freeciv blender

I'm also working on getting Fritzing installed.

Edit: These are all good suggestions. I'll get to work on a new version. Now I need to figure out how to change the default background from the command line.

Some beginner-friendly programming things. If you can tolerate non-oss - PyCharm community edition.

Thank you.

I'd go for VSCodium. It's open source and has no telemetry but it's close enough to VS Code to develop commercially useful skills.

I'll look into both. Thank you.
