Or whether or not this is taught in most high schools? Hi Wes, I am part of a NPO in NYC that is working on educating floss to NPO 's and teens. Currenly we have taught 2 different classes: pc garage, where we introduce kids to computers and free software and a second on Blender using either w32 or linux platform. I have proposed a class on programing but have not followed through on all the details. Are you looking to help teach a class on programming or are you looking for an organization this will do/has done this? At the moment we are teaching a 'pc garage' class and are in the 4th week of the 12 week cycle. If you want to see us in action and discuss anything, you can stop by. AFAICT, there are few if any classes on programming in High schools and I'd say nil that would use free software. visit cfsg.org for more info on us.
