Putting old accomplishments (and TA position) on resume

I’m a sophomore CS major working (very belatedly) on a new resume for applying for internships this summer. I have a couple good (IMHO) accomplishments to talk about from classes and past work experience, but my only completed independent programming project of any significance (a few thousand lines C and assembly, doing something novel and (IMHO) moderately impressive) is rather old — from 2006. Which would you do: list this in order to show some independent work, or just as a rule not put anything so old on a resume?

Also, I’m currently a TA for a CS course; is it standard to list this as “work experience”, or as something else like “other academic experience”?

Thanks.
