Sounds pretty cool. You might want to look at MIT's winter term (one month) web programming competition/class for some inspiration: http://6.470.scripts.mit.edu/2014/.
They do a mixture of lectures, office hours, and guest speakers, and culminate with a final submission for prizes. Not everyone has to enter the competition and there is also a rookie flight and an experienced dev flight so everyone can participate. Gathering corporate/start-up sponsors to get prizes for a contest seems to be a good way to spur interest and motivate people to learn (at least it was for me).

Great, thanks! I've been looking at David Malan's CS50 web programming lectures at Harvard and found them useful as well.
