“Computer science is a liberal art.” — Steve Jobs

I have heard it argued that in this century, in our society, knowing how to use a computer without understanding how to program one is akin to knowing how to read but not write in the last century.

I don’t think we are at the point yet where computational thinking is a liberal art, but in the meantime, code.org is doing important work towards reaching that goal. Read about the Hour of Code here: csedweek.org. Get involved!
