I work at Hack Club (https://hackclub.com), a nonprofit that supports teenagers in finding and pursuing their love of computers through free programs.

First, this is amazing! Thank you for helping make this happen.

There are a number of Hack Clubs that run out of computer labs like these. My #1 recommendation would be to have a concrete plan in place to ensure high quality, reliable internet access, and the ability for students to access the space recreationally.

Many of the Hack Clubs we have in underresourced areas that run out of labs like this don't have access (or lost access) to the internet, and for many of them we will reimburse the cost of a 4G phone hotspot. But it is not a very good solution

The other challenge a lot of our teenagers run into is the schools only allowing them to use the computer lab during class hours. I think it is very important that students are able to come to the lab outside of normal class hours to experiment, play games, etc - as it's difficult to find a love for computers if you don't spend a lot of time around them.

Bandwidth is a real concern, yes. Also, the intent is both for the school and open to the public.

But it's really not to build web dev skills, but literally to learn to read and write.
