Comment on What we might have to teach before Computer Scienceparent

Comments

Really, the only thing you need to teach before Computer Science, is reading writing calculating, some maths, some physics, and that's about it.

Maybe not even. Alan Kay & co, with Scratch, used to teach physics and Science (with a big S) with the aid of programming. One of my favourite example was the teaching of Galilean physics by filming the fall of a rock. The reported result was that without the computer, almost no child could understand how it worked. With the computer, almost all children were able to derive a model by themselves —I suppose with some guidance.
