As a young (18 in a month) programmer myself, I enjoy this idea. I'm not certain about distributing aid in this manner, however. A lot of kids who would deserve this might not necessarily be the best at presentation or marketing. Still, it is nice to see people taking an interest in young coders. There's a lot of support for teaching kids programming, but I sometimes I feel like those supporters don't know what to do once we actually learn. |

I also have some misgivings about this particular form of aid distribution. It's very possible that some extremely deserving candidates miss out on aid because they aren't the best at marketing. In that regard, we offer some basic marketing suggestions and efforts around their campaign, and it's something we hope to improve upon in the future.
I don't necessarily think Codefund is THE solution, but I think that it's A solution, and it's one that we can keep iterating on together.
