| Very cool. I wish my old high school had that type of program. | |

| Yeah that would have rocked if my HS had that. Heck, my high school "computer" class consisted of Apple IIe computers. And this wasn't long ago; I graduated in 96. They were behind the times to say the least.  | |

| I was kind of lucky in that respect. We didn't have the most up to date equiment either (PIIs), but I managed to learn a lot in my sophomore and junior years. I learned the basics of electronics and got to help out the school's network admin on day to day stuff and a few projects. | |

| My high school's idea of "computer literacy" was teaching half a semester of BASIC and teaching us how to enter data in Word processors and Spreadsheets!
If programming were taught a little earlier, there is a good chance that fewer people would be afeard of it later on. Having the source code to most software would be a great way to teach system engineering for those interested. | |

| I didn't see a computer in school. Except for where in the world is carmen san diago in elementary. Oh and Oregon Trail. | |

| Let me show my age: we got the half semester deal of BASIC on a teletype console connected to same mainframe as all the schools in the county. My teacher had worked on the original UNIVAC's. Yes, computer skills need to be started early to end the fear factor. | |

What about number munchers? I haven't seen that since 3rd grade, but it was entertaining back then at least |
