I think the games thing kind of makes the obvious suggestion of developing 'educational games', but personally I also think theres argument about helping young people more fully explore what the web can offer ie. not jumping on providing games because that seems to be the demand, but also considering the opportunities to broaden horizons. Having said that the diversity seems pretty impressive already. I’d like to see a lot more of these from different schools & providers – great for an instant impression.
