I just donated to the below campaign -- the folks involved are both motivated and capable, and I'm confident that they'll make a big impact if we get them the resources they need.

Was wondering if you could share our campaign with some of your lists. Thanks! Jeremy == CodeHS <http://codehs.com/> is a site to teach computer science to high schoolers. We are launching a crowdfunding campaign called *CSinHS*<http://csinhs.com/> with the large goal to bring computer science to every high school, and with the specific goal to teach 1,000 high school students to program in the next six months. Almost no high schools in the country offer CS, but computer science education is critical for the jobs of the future. Everyone gets stuck when learning to program, and the focus of CodeHS is providing help from real people along the way. If you believe CS should be in HS, then we need your help. There are lots of ways you can help - Contribute to the campaign at indiegogo.com/csinhs - Spread the word about the campaign here: www.csinhs.com - Record a video sharing "why you should learn to code" http://csinhs.com/record Contact us with any questions.
