That is a nice idea of Lachlans - more like a workshop than a school. We did such things for introducing people to CCP4 libraries in the past. You could get people like Ralf Grosse-Kustleve and Kevin Cowtan to describe their C++ crystallographic libraries, and to set exercises ( that is really important!) But would you raise enough students? And could the organisation provide a suitable class room with web access? I guess people would bring their own laptops but they would want to access the web.
