Just list the titles of the classes -- they are impressive enough. Put your GPA instead of your grades if it is good.
Emphasize your projects the most -- if you have a good GPA, you need to distinguish yourself b/c lots of people have good GPAs. So, startups and companies will be impressed that you do personal projects and show passion.
Elaborate on the exact role you played in each project. For example, for ImpishIdeas you say you "run" the community, but this is very vague. Did you found it and design the website? What specific things (briefly) did you do to "maneuver" it to a #1 site? Similarly with TactfulTokenizer -- after reading about it, I'm still unsure about your exact role, whether you were part of a larger team, etc. You may want a brief bulleted list of major things you did for each project, just so it doesn't become too wordy.
I would put your honors (which are great but lots of people have them) at the very bottom.
I'd also get rid of the "Languages" section (unless you're applying for an internship with unique language requirements). Instead, mention the technologies you used in the body of each of your projects. The problem with a "languages" section is that everyone will list a ton of languages, and it is unclear how well the person knows each of them (even if you say "highly skilled" or whatnot), thereby making it a useless section for differentiating candidates.
