I hope github keeps this mainly focused on web IDE with automatic grading and turn-in instead of trying to get kids to learn Git Why? Git is pretty fun.

Git is a good way to introduce kids about hashes and basic crypto stuff, graphs (DAG) and other data structures, collaboration, etc. saying this as a 16 year old.
