UrbanTxT is a Los Angeles program which teaches low-income students HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP so they can build a website together. Each student is given a different task, like graphic design, development, and and project management, and they must work together to create a website.

Wonderful idea. A large part of the challenge for middle and high school students is that nothing at school interests and engages them, so there’s little reason to pay much attention. Programs like this not only give students useful skills, but more importantly it provides them something to care about and work toward.
