Does the raspberry pi have a wifi adapter, and is it unused for your project?
If so, you can use your pi as an access point
no need for cables, you just connect your laptop to the pi's SSID.
Downside is that now your laptop doesn't have Internet access, which may be a deal breaker (unless you can plug your pi into a router and get access through it). You could just get a cheap USB wifi dongle for your laptop and use one interface for Internet, one for pi.
Hostapd is probably how you would go about this of you're interested ( https://learn.adafruit.com/setting-up-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-wifi-access-point/install-software )
Or they could connect their pi as well as their laptop to a hotspot created on their pocket computer masquerading as a phone. They won't lose their internet on the laptop or pi that way.
