Hey Andrew - I loved this post!

I especially liked your ideas about introducing computer science and information technology courses to our kids earlier.

Yes, coding in itself is a great way to learn how to solve problems. And, it can also play a bigger role if we get our kids to think about it as just one more tool that they can use to solve any problem that they encounter around them.

Do you have any examples to make kids think in this way?

P.S. Funny that you mentioned mitochondria's as an example. It was one of my favorite things in school to draw and color in school. ;D
