I think it could make sense as lab days in an ordinary computer operation class. For example, in the sciences you do labs with experiments to better understand how the scientific process works. Using computers and technology is ubiquitous today. Most people are doing so all the time. So it makes sense for there to be classes about operating technology. And in the spirit of education, it would not hurt to have a couple of labs that dive into some light coding. Similar to how sciences do some light experiments.
