Technology oriented afterschool activities. I think one of the biggest problems of parents who work is what to do with their kids between the time the kids get out of school and the parents get home. Many parents don't fancy the idea of them sitting at home or in a library and especially for middle school (jr. high) and high school students there really aren't any afterschool activities available. Get more funding to allow schools to have afterschool programs involing computers, robotics, and fabrication and design, andperhaps involving a level of competition in each.
