"I have in mind an incubator similar to Y Combinator " What you are describing is a charity not an incubator. "No one is teaching them how to start a business by teaching them a skill." How do you plan doing this if the kids cannot read or write? Why is this even an important skill for a child? "I am planning to teach Google App Engine with Python and separately also Arduino." These kids probably don't even have access to decent food, clean water, reliable electricity, etc, so how are they supposed to have access to computers and Internet? Will you provide these things? Will there be a facility where the kids can come to? "I strongly believe that school is evil." This is your privilege talking and frankly it's a slap in the face of those kids who cannot afford to go to a decent school.

arkitaip: In fact, I don't want to do it as a charity but as a business. That's why I called it incubator. I assume that kids can read and write but do not have further education. Yes I hope to provide access to computer and internet. There are many organizations who help these kids. I may ask their cooperation or I can start a place myself or even start initially in an internet cafe. The details are still vague, that's why I posted here. "This is your privilege talking and frankly it's a slap in the face of those kids who cannot afford to go to a decent school." This is what I want to prove. You can be a successful entrepreneur without going to brand name school.

  Just curious, where does the business part come into play? How do you plan on making money?

    The way Y Combinator makes money. If I understand correctly, they invest in the companies they sponsor.

      If you want to raise kids to make them into successful people so you can invest in them, why not also have some fun? Make babies! Get laid, get pregos, raise them then you will be a major stock-holder in their success.
