I've never done any coding myself but after reading the breakdown of computation thinking, it sounds similar to critical thinking. One of the college writing classes I teach is "critical thinking" in which we break down the logical thinking process. Within that course, we study the logical fallacies and how to avoid errors in logic. The coding process sounds like a logic problem. Questions that remain about coding for me include how does a code become the polished software interface we see when we interact with the program? The questions I have about teaching coding is how to learn more about the connections between critical thinking and coding. Thanks for a great introduction to coding!

Sincerely,
