As a high school student I can’t recommend the NumWorks enough (but you will absolutely find it lacking if you need it for anything other than high school maths).
It’s a really nice tool (although not an RPN calculator). It’s like if Apple designed a calculator… very intuitive.
That said, I wouldn’t call it fully open source. They had some issue because they released an update that locked down their calculators to satisfy school boards (because otherwise students could modify test modes to cheat on tests). The software on GitHub was also out of date, last time I checked.

I know they removed the CAS capabilities to appease school boards. Are you still able to replace the firmware with the CAS capable version?
Good to know, while I had purchased one for my daughter, I had only a cursory look at the released files.
