Actually, no. The .class -> .dex compiler consumes an enormous amount of 
memory, so it is out of the question at least for now. However what I do 
not get is why would it be good for an education project if it would be 
self hosting at all? As I see an education project's main goal is to 
support creating quality educational resources (like curricula) cheaply, 
is not it?
