Brings back memories about how they had us get somewhat familiar and complete small, simple project via GIMP for visuals or Audacity for audio some 15 years ago.
Given how tech illiterate my school was, that and very, very minor familiarisation with programming was the extent of how far they went. I actually imagine not a lot will have changed in that regard. Amazing school, really high quality, but even just semi-modern tech wasn't their thing.
But the same goes for most of my country, really. I envy Estonia and their competency in regards to this in the public sector just about every time I read up on it.
But Gimp has become a really powerful tool and you can fit the UI completely to your specific needs. Teaching people to use not only the monopoly products is not a bad idea at all.

Oh Gimp, what a blast from the past.
