Having run almost a dozen hackathons for high school and college students, I'm not surprised at all to hear this story. At our last CodeDay in Seattle, a 17-year old HS student built an app that's received over 175,000 downloads on Google Play. http://www.geekwire.com/2013/student-programmer-creates-successful-app-codeday-seattle-meet-sidebar/ http://www.geekwire.com/2013/student-programmer-creates-succ... We've run CodeDay in five cities so far, with 30-100 students attending each event. If anything, it's a good sign that we can change the culture at the high school level and get more students into technology.
