"It is possible to deceive students into thinking that they have learned how to program by having them complete a series of highly constrained "fill in the blank" programming problems. However, this does not prepare students for figuring out how to harness computational thinking to solve problems."
"For centuries, this was the prevailing scientific wisdom; then along came quantum mechanics and the Copenhagen Doctrine. The doctrine’s proponents, led by Bohr and Heisenberg, argued that at its most fundamental level the behavior of the physical world cannot be predicted. One can make probabilistic"
