Sixth-Grade Developer Teaches Students How to Make Apps

I'm not sure if you actually watched the video but it's clear that no "program" was created and that no education funds were supporting this young man. He used his own initiative to start a club at school and a single teacher sponsors the club. That's not a program. It's an opportunity for those interested in making apps to come together and share in the experience. Would aeronautics, accounting, or engineering clubs be beneficial to those interested in such subjects? Absolutely. There's nothing dumb or short-sighted in this young man's thinking. He thinks it's fun to share app dev with people who also think it's fun.

Kids are interested in accounting?

At my school we used to have design & technology classes that could be thought of as introductory engineering courses.

If a aeronautics program would be financially viable to a school I think that would be awesome!

People are taught the fundamentals of math and science, but not logic or computer programming. I personally think accelerated introduction to algebra would be beneficial.
