This is interesting - Time Warner Cable, as part of its Connect a Million Minds (CAMM) initiative, launched a new after-school technology curriculum this week for middle school students it calls "Cracking the Codes in the Digital World." The CAMM site presents an impenetrable Flash wall unless you've signed in, so there appears to be no way to otherwise see uploaded "evidence" of connected students (you can find it here though, and an overview here). You won't find links to the after-school program on the TW press release either. So far as I can judge, it consists of tours of cable provider offices. Still. The idea of an out-of-school engagement project is a good one, and having staff work directly with students is (what I would consider) good practice.
