Many people have access to cell phones, but not computers which makes programming more difficult to learn in developing nations.
To build a mobile interface for making ASTs that focuses mainly on Cardano languages. Also a server to manage compilation and collaboration.
This is the total amount allocated to Marlowe and Plutus Mobile.
I've already started working on a frontend implementation in Elm, and I'll probably write the backend in Pony or Elixir.
This project will be fully open source, provided I have the funding to devote my time to it, so anyone should be able to integrate it with their training materials. I'm also interested in pushing the envelope in visual code representation and touch screen optimized code input.
In the work I've already done representing Marlowe, I see some interesting possibilities of a fully visual representation of code resembling something like Maya-style hieroglyphs, which, if both are funded, is something I'll probably pursue for my use in the game environment I'm currently doing research to build for the proposal I've submitted in the DApp creation category:

Also, with the funding from both, I should be able to make up the difference in what I need to realize the goals I had from my proposal in Fund2 and get my friends in Malawi to help me work on the projects I've submitted for this round:
