Kind of like the 'Real World'...

In an article in NY Times, Stuart Elliott talks about the comparison of the show 'Real World' and a new show coming out. 

'Engine Room' is a reality show series where 16 contestants are divided into four teams and are to produce digital art using PCs, work stations, monitors and other products sold by Hewlett-Packard. The series is to run for seven weeks and at the end one team will win prizes that include $400,000 and program the giant MTV screen in Times Square for one night.

It certainly has a lot to do with advertising but a marketable way to show students putting their knowledge of the digital age to good use and be rewarded for it.
