From Kickstarter's policies:<p>> Kickstarter does not allow charity, cause, or "fund my life" projects.<p>In the "where's the money going" section of her project page, it's pretty clear that this money was going to go towards tuition for a week-long summer camp, and also a new laptop. I'd put these squarely in the "fund my life" categories. If all she's doing is asking for a hand-out, her success sends the wrong message. (Maybe there's more to it though, and I do think that this kind of campaign is, in general, a very good thing!)<p>Technically, the project also adheres to this policy:<p>> Everything on Kickstarter must be a project. A project has a clear goal, like making an album, a book, or a work of art. A project will eventually be completed, and something will be produced by it.<p>Assuming she sets out to produce an RPG, perhaps she can use some of this money to pay for game assets, writing, editing, etc. Or, alternatively, she could pay for other kids to attend RPG camp (or other STEM camps). I really do hope could be turned into something very positive, but I have my doubts.
