i think that if the collages are going to ask for the students i think its a good thing for everyone one that whants to go to have a computer class and i think that every one should take this class because now every thing is on the computer and u need to know how to use it

I think a course in computational thinking would be a terrific way to bump into a new strategy about "how to learn." Using computer programming, at a very basic level, could be a great way to expose students, at the college and even high school level, to a methodolgy that could help them to solve problems in math, science and other subjects. Maybe we could start a pilot project right here at SeaCoast HS. I truly believe it would be a really great thing to do!
