Exactly! The fact that it seems so unattainable to you is the problem we are trying to solve.
Being a programmer myself I know that it can be a challenging field but I also know that it's definitely something kids can do and enjoy as well.
I like the analogy to Legos- not every kid who plays with Legos will grow up to be an architect or civil engineer but they can gain a great deal of enjoyment out of doing a simpler version of what these people do professionally.
