I think it might provide some benefits to teach problem solving with code then. E.g. modelling some concepts from maths or physics in Python or something even simpler. Or demonstrating ideas with computer animation. Not sure how far we are with platforms that allow doing that without going too deep into how computers work.

> I think it might provide some benefits to teach problem solving with code then. E.g. modelling some concepts from maths or physics in Python or something even simpler. That's what Logo offered starting back in the 60s. Exploring different problem domains with programs. Converting some kinds of math/geometry problems into computational problems with the turtle (and, later, turtle graphics on the screen). Language problems were similarly addressed, but most people just remember the graphical parts.
