Become a sponsor to Dennis King

Hello and welcome to my GitHub sponsorship profile!
I'm Dennis, a passionate self-taught software engineer with a mission to transform education through technology. I've created Rice, a child-friendly and resource-efficient programming language designed to introduce computational thinking to young learners.

The Vision: Bridging the Skills Gap
Rice is not just a language; it's a vision. I believe that every child, regardless of their background or access to resources, should have the opportunity to learn programming and develop vital digital skills. Rice is my contribution to closing the skills gap in underserved communities and fostering a brighter future for young minds.

Resource Efficiency: Making Learning Accessible
Rice's design philosophy centers on resource efficiency. I've meticulously crafted this language to run on a wide range of devices, including those with limited computational resources. Its minimalist approach ensures that even low-powered computers can provide a rich programming experience.

Empowering Young Minds
My goal with Rice is to empower young learners with critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Through Rice, I aim to ignite the curiosity of children, enabling them to tackle complex challenges and build a strong foundation for future success.

Expansion and Outreach
While Rice is in its early stages, I'm actively exploring opportunities to expand its reach and collaborate with more local schools, non-profits, and community organizations. Your support will directly contribute to these expansion efforts, allowing us to reach even more children.

Why Sponsor Rice?
By sponsoring Rice, you're not just supporting a programming language; you're investing in the future. You're helping bring digital literacy and computational thinking to young minds, especially those who need it most. Your sponsorship enables me to continue refining and expanding Rice, making it an invaluable resource for potential educators, parents, and students worldwide.

Join the Journey
I invite you to join me on this incredible journey to empower the next generation of coders and problem solvers. Your sponsorship will make a tangible difference in the lives of young learners and in underserved communities. Together, we can bridge the skills gap and create a brighter future through education and technology.

Thank you for considering sponsorship. Let's make a meaningful impact together.

Warm regards,
Dennis
