Yes we actually worked a lot with kids and programming / computers, mostly kids from very poor backgrounds high up in the himalayas. Also I've worked with young programmers for almost 20 years. This project, which you see the very beginning of, is something that is coming to fruition as a result of that experience.

The primary target audience is kids, and the secondary non-programmers who want to get in to data science. The goal is to really make it "for all ages". A previous iteration was tested on target audience and had an encouraging reception, which was the motivation to put more time in to this.
