Thanks for the response.

My next question is - What is the minimum age limit for the Summer Academy? - I have a younger sister and Im doing my best to get her involved in computer science

2) How does someone build their programming/developer skills adequately on their own? I've tried doing codeacademy and other sites, but its very intensive and with minimal guidance its quite difficult. Where would you recommend a person to start?

I saw a video of your school in your interview with Ms. Ling. I like the concept. My question to you is this: It seems that the 100k+ jobs are ever increasingly shifting to the tech industry, and that with increased automation this is only going to continue. So do you have plans to collaborate with big companies in Silicon Valley such as FB and Google where you provide them with a pipeline of recruiters, or do you wish to stay independent?

Also - your student profile: From what i saw in the video there were alot of Asian/White students in the classes? I dont think thats a bad thing at all, but do you care about increasing access to computer knowledge / science to kids of color/non represented minorites?

The reason i ask is that I'm currently a senior at Pomona College but I had the chance to take some classes at Harvey Mudd. They were life changing honestly and it exposed me to a world of which i knew nothing about. I was able to participate in a Hackathon and even won a tech consulting case competition as a result of the 1 class. So imo, I think it would be helpful, but maybe I'm biased.

On Brilliant Idiots, you're a lot mor insightful, philosophical, and in depth about issues but on the BC you seem to be the funny guy, cracking a lot of jokes. Is this the rachet-righteous dichotomy you aspire for, or is it accidental?

BTW- I loved the interview you did with Montreality. It was really insightful and showed that youre a intelligent man.
