It's great that they're being taught algorithms. It gives a context and reason to math and fights the "when am I ever going to use this" problem. Math should taught alongside algorithms to give the techniques context throughout education.

I don't think kids benefit much at all by being taught web stuff. HTML is just a lot of boilerplate, and there are better languages than javascript that reduce the code to things happening on screen barrier.

If trigonometry is being taught alongside making an asteroids game, I think that could enlighten kids on what it can be important for. It's not just filling in values on a triangle, it's direction, it's how things move, it's integral to physics, and it's important.
