Go to https://nomadbsd.org/ and flash it just like you would with Tails. Its not meant to be a anonymous, private or secure OS, but its very easy to use, based on FreeBSD (which is decently secure already), and should work very well out of the box. Source: over 1 year ago

There is a chance the computers might not allow this, but I have always been curious if this would be a viable option.

The benefit is you can customize the dev environment to your liking and keep some of your files local on their as well as GitHub. You would also gain some Linux/BSD... Source: almost 2 years ago

Sometimes, copying from existing operating systems (especially pedagogical ones) is a good places to start: Nachos, Minix (esp paired with Tanenbaum's OS book), Xv6, or ToyOS might be good reference material for you. Source: almost 2 years ago
