A program and course at Georgia Tech that looks to use computer science for social change. From the course Web page:
How can computing help make the world a better place? Why is providing connectivity important? How best to do so? How can computers help a nation heal? Can we avoid wars and track diseases in time to avoid epidemics? We explore problems faced by developing countries and underserved populations from a computer science perspective.

Dr. Stephanie Ludi has composed an excellent series of tutorials and lessons plans on NXC. They’re available here and here.
The lessons are targeted for grades 7-12 and assume no prior knowledge of programming in general or NXC in particular. They were underwritten in part by the National Science Foundation.
