Recenzje

“A well-written resource that will serve many types of educators, creators, and learners . . . it warms me to see Kai Hutchence highlight how coding is more than a path to a career or professional pursuits. He makes a compelling case for creative expression and lifelong learning as critical outcomes of coding instruction. Through this ambitious undertaking, Kai has shown that he is a lifelong learner capable of inspiring others to be the same.”

—Amon Millner, Associate Professor of Computing and Innovation and Director of the Extending Access to STEM Empowerment (EASE) Lab at the Olin College of Engineering, USA, from the foreword
