I think the most valuable impact you can make is to teach something to kids. The biggest problem with kids learning technology is that you can't just drop hardware in front of them. That's my main peeve with things like from Lego Mindstroms to Raspberry Pi, the companies or organizations don't place a lot of effort into creating palatable curriculum. Anyhow, over time, inspiring kids to learn about technology is probably the most valuable thing you can do. There are many ways to do this. I'll mention three: - Find your local FIRST robotics FRC team and become a mentor - Most teams have kids who want to do web stuff - http://www.firstinspires.org/ - Offer your local school to teach the kids web-dev/programming - Greenfoot is a great resource for this: http://www.greenfoot.org/door - Or Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/ - Start a meetup group for kids where you teach web dev - Same resources as above - Your local Barnes & Noble typically has a community room you can use for meetups (rules apply)
