I'd love to see Racket "feel" doable to young and old alike who aren't computer scientists.
A visual redesign could help. Especially a redesign of the IDE user interface. But first some fun examples to inspire people would be best IMHO.
To find this project ASK the people you're trying to reach. Listen. Then find a young person who's game. Ask them if they'd make a project with Racket and write a blog post about it. There's nothing like getting inspiration from your peers. This blog post may already exist. In other words the people who are beginners need to help reach other beginners.

Or what about Try Racket? https://github.com/voila/try-racket Is this project running online somewhere?
The power of Macros with the ease of Processing would truly be a powerful thing!
