My students do three:

Reddit clone

Food bank organisation, shops submit out of date food. People want food. You organise this, facebook like interface.

MUD clone

Code these three. Put on github.

which institution do you teach at where your students would acquire the skills to do these? Any online classes you can point to perhaps? Thks

These skills are not hard. 3 months of apprenticeship, 1 day in college, 4 days in a job.

Just start building one, learn as you do it. All I do is insist that the students do it. They're all like you, "Oh I don't know if I can." .. I just force them to do it.

Another bunch of non-coders - first assignment is to send a waether balloon up (50,000 ft) and take picture. You've just got to want to do it. Posting on HN isn't enough. Start typing in code. Don't stop until you are an expert.
