No more than TFA was advocating "One C64 Per Child" :-)
All joking aside, I think the advent of very accessible, low-cost SBCs, coupled with languages like Python, is a Good Thing. Our local hackerspace, Splatspace, also helped sponsor the Teen Tech Camp event, and we do a lot of stuff that's geared towards working with kids (teaching Scratch, doing "Squishy Circuits" demos, helping with "math and science night" at a local school, etc), and I'd like to see us do even more of that sort of thing.
One of my biggest regrets right now is that I'm so damn busy with Fogbeam Labs, that I don't have as much time as I'd like, to personally teach some classes and what-not. But I keep telling myself that things will stabilize eventually, and I'll be able to do more of that stuff...
Well, it sounds like you've been doing a great job. I guess the challenge is figuring out how to scale what you've been doing to allow other volunteers to replicate your success!
