This is Technically Baltimore’s One Big Idea. We’d like to use this space to allow technologists, community organizers, activists and other thought leaders in Baltimore city propose one idea for making this city a better place to live and work.
Since 1998, Lance Lucas has been working to bring computer education — in the form of certification classes, programming courses, robotics design and a variety of other programs — to what he calls Baltimore’s “untapped population”: low-income, predominantly black neighborhoods.

In November, Technically Baltimore reported about Lucas’ efforts through his nonprofit Digit All Systems. Part of Lucas’ goal in 2013 to enhance Digit All’s computer certification offerings is Street Geeks, a cloud computing curriculum and certification program he’s presently developing with the help of Peter Daniels,  a cloud architect at T. Rowe Price who serves as chairman of the board of Digit All Systems.
Lucas and Daniels talk more about Street Geeks for this week’s One Big Idea:
