Waterbear is Like Scratch, but for JavaScript Unlike Scratch, you can view the code generated by Waterbear. Elza's vision for the project is much like that of Alan Kay's vision for Squeak and the ideas in the book Mindstorms by Seymour Papert. Elza hopes it can be used in programming books and courses to allow learners to explore code in a more immersive environment, or enable individuals to become "casual programmers." He uses his own kids as examples. His 10 year old son learned Scratch and has moved on to more advanced programming. He already thinks of himself as a programmer.

Exploring Computational Thinking Google is committed to promoting computational thinking throughout the K-12 curriculum to support student learning and expose everyone to this 21st century skill. What is Computational Thinking? Computational thinking (CT) involves a set of problem-solving skills and techniques that software engineers use to write programs that underlie the computer applications you use such as search, email, and maps. Here are specific techniques. Decomposition: When we taste an unfamiliar dish and identify several ingredients based on the flavor, we are decomposing that dish into its individual ingredients. Pattern Recognition: People look for patterns in stock prices to decide when to buy and sell.
The Python Script Collection For Windows - Automating Microsoft Outlook For Outlook automation it is nesseccary to use the makepy utility.

Parents of young children often marvel that, despite their own egalitarian intentions, their kids are the ones who police traditional gender norms. Indeed, as Orenstein notes, studies of primate and human toddlers found that while both sexes enjoy stuffed animals and books, boys prefer cars and balls, while girls are drawn to dolls. I myself have an embarrassing childhood memory of being distraught when given the gift of a remote-control airplane; my parents had to remind me to say thank you and then encourage me to play with it—and, of course, it turned out to be a lot of fun. Orenstein points to research finding that children raised in households that practice and preach gender egalitarianism make better romantic partners as adults.
