<div dir="ltr">Hi Guys,<div><br></div><div>So far the ideas seem to be on one hand an internet cafe / workspace which over time can have facilities added to it (like the hosting platform that Brian suggested) and on the other hand a sort of outreach center.</div><div><br></div><div>I would like to ask a few questions in the hope of soliciting more discussion:</div><div>1. Are the two ideas compatible? I guess if we start with an internet cafe sort of setting with people bringing their own laptops the outreach will have to wait until we have at least a couple of work stations or in-house laptops.</div><div><br></div><div>2. Given that we do not want this to be like a traditional computer school, what exactly will it be like? A secondary school student can probably enroll in a general computer school, then maybe afterwards university or a professional qualification (Cisco etc) training school. Given those options that exists out there, what would we hope the students to learn? Going down this road will require at some point things like needs assessment, curriculum development etc.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Of course there is the option of just lending the space to students say on particular days and letting them enjoy decent internet and hope they just learn something informally from being around other more experienced people. This leads to me next question, what would be the goal here? In other words, if we were to do this for say 2 years, we would say this is successful if what happens? Having a goal would help us refine our thinking here.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
