If you watched the entire video, you would have seen Caine's father say [sic] "he no longer wears his tshirt to school because kids make fun of him" "nobody believed he made an arcade".
Kids are still kids.
- tfb 15y agoThe point the GP was making is that regardless of kids being kids, resources are now available to give the kid first-hand experience that non-conformity and believing in oneself doesn't mean he will go through life alone in his efforts. Had he not experienced this first-hand, there would be a greater chance that he would submit to conformity and possibly mediocrity.
- berberich 15y agoNirvan, the guy who made the film about Caine, says that not only does he wear his shirt to school now, but they're going to have a screening of the film there too: http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/s1lmp/reddit_here_is_the_short_film_about_caines_diy/c4awkep http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/s1lmp/reddit_here_is...
- bira 15y agoMan, he's going to be chick-magnet now :) Guys, c'mon donate a few dollars to the kid, right here: http://cainesarcade.com/ http://cainesarcade.com/ They are raising 100k for Caine's scholarship fund and at the moment about 97k has already been donated :D
- nelmaven 15y agoJust less than 500$ for the target! I'm refreshing the page and it keeps rising! Impressive!
- Schwolop 15y agoThey've just made it to the target - awesome!
- alttag 15y agoIt started out as a $25K goal, and they blew through it ($24K in the first day). They reset it to $50K, and it was at $49K when I saw it yesterday, which means it gained ~$50K in the last 24 hours. Holy cow. EDIT: Spleling

- mtrimpe 15y agoI wonder who contributed the 10 nano-cents that got them to $109484.00000001....
- charlieok 15y agoI do wonder how that will play out. When I was in 5th grade, I won a trip to Space Camp in an essay contest. I thought that was pretty awesome. The teachers had me give a talk to the class about it when I got back. I learned very quickly that the rest of the class didn't think it was quite so awesome. The transition to the middle school years can be tough.
