What about a hardware limiter for such audio workshops? Would this be a good solution? Any advise for hardware? How about small mixers?
what about a dirty one so people get aural feedback? a passive one is possible, a few clipping diodes followed by a voltage divider (with a pot) so it never goes loud 
sorry I couldn’t resist
The joke would have been better if there was also a more serious answer attached to it.

SafetyNet Quark is a pretty good solution on the software side. Hardware limiter is not necessary compared to any other audio source, I think.
It’s not only about Supercollider but also other software. That’s why I’m thinking about a hardware limiter.
Let’s say every audio is routed via a mixer with a limiter, so children can use headphones safely.
If safety is the priority, think if you need headphones, because this context with several software just adds to the risks. A limiter will just catch extreme audio peaks, it will not smooth out relative differences in loudness.
Not sure if such a music lesson / workshop works without headphones…
Here they use headphones
