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.
