> I'd be fine with this if schools taught computer science like art. Essentially a place to build and make cool shit. I worked with a non-profit that attempted to pitch exactly this to state governments, using game development as the framing. We ran summer programs to gather data while pursuing funding, and it was fantastic. Kids who had no interest in programming, logic, or physics bought into it in the context of building a level. Kids who wanted to code but had no interest in art, music, or writing bought into it in the context of creating a story. Funding for an in-school pilot passed the state legislature, but the governor line-item vetoed it. Good old Bobby Jindal.
