Why do people continually assume that kids don't have the intellectual capacity to solve problems? The hurdles are only as high as YOU think they are.

Kid wants to make a game, kid programs a game. What's so hard about that? The kid doesn't care about the "barrier to entry" any more than issues like platform, methodology, budget, competition, etc. None of those business decisions are part of their need to make the game.

I'd say the opposite - Kids can cut the crap and stay focused better than most PM's.
