The 6502 ISA is so simple/barebones/lacking that a group of motivated 13-year olds really can get started in a few evenings.No pipelines, no wait states, no packed instruction formats. The entire ISA can be summarized on a single page (in fact it was, on the back page of the CBM BASIC book we had).
I'd never even try that with a modern CPU.
