>> There are tons of children who could learn to program, could even teach themselves, but who are unaware that the option exists. > This just isn't true, [...] Let me get this straight... you're saying that children are generally aware that they can learn to program, and that children who aren't aware of these opportunities are rare or something? I must be misunderstanding something here, because that sounds like complete horseshit to me. I have years of experience teaching children how to program, and the vast majority show up unaware that learning to program is something within their reach.
