P2P: Future of Learning - Computer Science and Computational Thinking

Technology is constantly evolving to meet the needs of the people who use it. From the printing press to washing machines to robotic lawyers, the only real difference is the rate of change.

There is a real need to tinker, to make, and to create in order for us to make sense of our world.

Coding is also being recognised as an important part of modern learning. In Australia, Coding has become part of the curriculum (although possibly at the cost of history and geography), and the Ministry of Education in NZ has also recently announced plans for digital technologies to become more explicit in the Technology curriculum.
