Ask HN: How would you teach web development to college students?
I've be working with a few other students to create HackBU [1], an organization at Binghamton University designed to teach web development and create a “hacker” culture.
We have 300+ people signed up and only 1/3 are CS majors. The plan is to hold weekly workshops with 45 minutes of lecturing and 2 hours of “office hours.” We’ll be organizing trips to hackathons and eventually host our own 24-hour hackathon at the end of the semester.
So, HN, how would you structure such a program if you were planning it?

Or, what would you like to see as a student?
