It seems the purpose of the class shouldn't be to give concrete tools. The purpose should be to spark their interest in technology so that they stick with it and think about how to leverage it in their setting (rural America). Specifics are hard, but here are some guiding principles I would follow: * Creating beautiful things should be easy * Introduce them to new technology using content they already understand * Focus on actually building stuff, not case studies, lectures, papers, papers, reading, etc.
