For many years, I have been saying that computer science and its tools should be the same. I recently watched a TEDx talk by Emmanuel Schanzer titled Four Ingredients for K-12 Data Science. In any case, it is clear that Bootstrap Data Science takes things I used to think about to a whole new level.

These are ways that teachers can bring more students to more interesting (to the student) to get involved with computer science. But where to start?

We’re still at a very interesting place in the development of computer science education. Learning about tools and established curriculum is helpful for sure. Learning along with students using canned curriculum sort of works I suppose but to be that feels like everyone is going to get shortchanged. Weird isn’t it?
