Self-taught in computer coding, Nick spent 10 months building “Greenhouse” using campaign finance data available from Opensecrets.org to show what industries give to which candidates. For each politician, Nick’s program also shows the percentage of the contributions that come from individuals giving less than $200.

For instance, only 4.8 percent of Rep. Nancy Pelosi‘s (D-Calif.) contributions are from small donors. The same goes for outgoing Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.). The motto of the site? “Some are red. Some are blue. All are green.”

“Even kids my age are able to see this data and recognize it’s a problem, we’ll be growing up in this political system,” he said. “As I went through the process and entered the information, what stood out to me is the scale of this issue.”

Nick said he was inspired by a 7th grade project on “corporate personhood” and wanted to educate people about what and who influences American politics. He said he hopes that when an issue comes up in the news, like energy policy or health care, people will use his plug-in to help explain why a politician might be falling on one side or the other.

He’s 16.
