Yes, my immediate assumption was that they have a strong filter on who they teach. I don’t find it terribly implausible that someone would know 15 people who are smart enough to code. But I think they’re going to be unpleasantly surprised if they start teaching strangers from the public library.
Perhaps so. If I fail I will write about it. One thing I can confidently say is that teaching is very difficult, so failure is a real possibility. I sure hope this works out though.
10 / 15 original students were random people who raised their hand on a facebook group when I posted a potential pilot program. I think this prepared me well for the coding bootcamp at our local public library that was launched last week. I hope to keep this going throughout 2020 and see what happens.

Here’s the meetup group, if you are around the area come say hi! https://www.meetup.com/San-Jose-C0D3/
I’m fascinated to hear how this went. Well done, Randomsong, and please let us know what happened!
