One of the goals of the sandbox is to give people a good overview of what is involved in software development and to get people interested in doing it! I am working on a list of things that I think are important to have an understanding of:

  • How computers work
  • Platforms (OS+Development Frameworks)
  • How the internet works
  • Basic web development
  • Different Programming Languages

The problem is I don’t think this list will sound that exciting to anyone but a bunch of geeks!

What do you think? What topics would you teach to a group of late teens to get capture their interest?
