The "hack Google" through web inspector reminds me of an experience I had a while back.
The plan was to teach kids about how websites works/HTTP basics, basic HTML/JS etc. I had all the material and code ready. When I reached the school I found out their internet had been disconnected!
Google's "browser is offline" T-Rex game popped up and I ended up spending the entire week with them teaching them how that game worked. It was a big hit! By the end of the week they were busy modifying the t-rex sprites with each others faces and stuff :)
Basically have a back up plan for no/limited internet!
