I use the ChromeBox (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CLQZHF9/) flashed with UEFI (https://mrchromebox.tech/#devices). I then use the FLIRC (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS2V7GM/) to get IR for the remote (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X16D9YJ/). On the actual ChromeBox, I run LibreeELEC (https://libreelec.tv). You can then access the box via SSH.
It is also possible to install a full-blown OS (Linux, Windows, whatever) if you like the added bloat! With just LibreEELEC, it boots (UEFI) in a couple of seconds!

If that's true, then they don't need a Windows PC with all of the associated headaches related to updates, viruses, etc. All they need is a $260 Chromebox. Yeah, building a SFF PC would be cooler for you, but that's not what they actually need.
I would get a Chromebox for that purpose (https://www.amazon.com/CHROMEBOX-3-N017U-Intel-Celeron-Graphics/dp/B07CLQZHF9/) and put it in the lectern with a small preview monitor, keyboard, mouse, and USB extender that users can plug into. It will let you open most file types and get to web pages, but since it's on the Chrome image, it'll be far less susceptible to viruses and need less upkeep.
