The TYPo Project: Teaching Young People Code and Design

[Galaxial]

Hey guys!
Recently I've just started an Indiegogo Fundraiser for my new project, TYPo.
You can read all about it here: http://www.indiegogo.com/typo

Basically it's run by me (Brandon), and I'm striving to reach the $3,000 funding goal so I can teach young people aged 11-16 web design, and graphics design. This means that I'll be teaching them things like how to create logos (like the one you see at the top of the forum everyday!), websites, videos, posters and everything technology related.

You can read all about it and my story at the Indiegogo Project page for TYPo.

I hope some of you will be able to donate and kick off the contributions, because that will be absolutely fantastic, and I know I can rely on the HeroCraft community to help me out!

Thank you all,
Galaxial (Brandon)

This is an idea, but don't kids that find an interest in that sort of thing usually teach themselves?

You also might want to state in your campaign whether or not you and your fellow tutor(s) will be receiving any of these funds. People are picky. Tell them exactly what these funds will be doing and where they will be going. It builds trust and you'll be far more likely to pull in funds that way. Budget frameworks look nice in the eyes of the donor.

How many people will you be teaching? How many tutors will be available to do this teaching?
