For schools, I'm a big fan of easily connectable solutions like Pimoroni's Breakout Garden or STEMMA QT / Qwiic I2C solutions available from the likes of Sparkfun and Adafruit. STEMMA QT and Qwiic have a larger set of sensors but STEMMA QT/Qwiic sensors can be used with Breakout Garden.
They are simple to connect without tools, have well documented libraries and definitely beginner friendly.
They will be more expensive than the bare sensors but the above listed advantages make up for that.

Another consideration could be a wheeled/tracked robot chassis. Add a camera and you can have robots that follow lines, track people/objects, navigate through a room.
All depends on the aims of the computer club.
