The Baltic country of Estonia -- known as the birthplace of Skype and a go-to market for tech companies in the U.S. and elsewhere needing developers -- is making another IT investment so that younger generations can keep growing that reputation. Today, it announced Smartlab, a public/private partnership with companies including Skype's now-owner Microsoft, which will see the creation of hobby groups for 10-19 year-olds to get instruction in robotics, programming and mobile app and web design. Initially, Smartlab is starting out with 140,000 ($182,000) of funding to cover 36 groups and 500 students nationwide, with the after-school program running during the academic year.
