Basically what this is saying is that spending a lot of money, time and work in general, to organize campus/school/other events where young developers/aspiring developers attend for FREE to learn about git and other stuff... is turning out to be good and beneficial for those who attended?

Congrats to GitHub for coming up with this marketing initiative that is somewhat altruistic and not just marketing, okay it's definitely a lot of marketing too!
