+*  As a project founded in academia, it is quite important to us to instill in future students a love for programming. In addition, a number of our contributors are parents of children within the age bracket for Google Code-In, and will be encouraging them to seek out projects from the other organisations; we hope to receive the same sort of referrals from other parents in other organisations.

+*  Languages survive or die out depending on children speaking them, as we mention in our introductory statement, our project has a particular focus on lesser-resourced and marginalised languages. Getting kids excited about their language in technology and on the internet is an important part of our work.
