A good friend of mine has started working on the exact same problem. He comes with a background in Games/Graphics (Pixar, EA Sports etc.) and in Education, and his take is that teaching programming/math using concepts from animation/games development might be a much better approach compared to the traditional way of teaching programming and computer science. Interestingly, that's how a lot of folks got into programming in the 80s and 90s.
He is starting this in small in-person batches for kids and adults (Ahmedabad, India), with plans to take it online in the future. Would love to hear thoughts on how to best scale this model.
