What is the best way to find programmers/founders in high school? It seems like there are zero people interested in programming/computers at my school.
For any high school age programmers in Ottawa, my email is in my HN profile.
So, at the least, you can maybe learn some programming out of it.
Disclaimer: Some friends and I tried to make a game company in high-school to make an MMO (remember those?). Said company finally made some J2ME games in college, failed. Learned a whole lot about technology, networking, and programming in the process--which has what's actually been useful.
I'll take your advice into account though.
Why not ask around for other kids interested in games (for various reasons, that's like the best place to learn programming)? Why limit yourself only to fellow students--get online and ask around on indie development forums?
I prefer programming and learning programming to relate to a certain project (website, app, etc) because I can apply what I have learned in something I enjoy.
