I wanted to compare the amount of investment with the GSoC[1] program. The GSoC home page[2] says it supported over 7,500 students; since each student/mentor pair(?) receives $5500, that makes about $41m, with overhead probably about the same amount as the "Made With Code" program, although GSoC ran 3 times longer with that amount than is planned for this new program. Either Google thinks this topic is somewhat more important, or could benefit more from the money, or the effort can be concentrated into fewer years, or Google has a bit more money now than it had when it started GSoC. Or anything else (I haven't even read what they are planning to do exactly.)
