I've written and asked how this project will be sustained, as no revenue model is evident in the public-facing materials. Nonetheless, I think it's worth passing along as an example of the new diversity of approaches to education. " is a free after-school program that teaches, and prepares students with next generation skills while having fun. The students write, design,create, and market applications for the iPhone, iPad, Google Android, and many other mobile computing platforms. Additionally, the program incorporates entrepreneurship, SAT Prep and business courses, preparing students to compete in the global economy. The goal is to create applications that can be sold to their local communities, schools, small businesses, or anyone who owns a mobile platform."
