Parent feedback — computational thinking, not just programming (2013)
My two children really enjoy Algorithmic in C class. I am so happy to see them discussing their homework and come up with various algorithms in order to resolve the problems. I truly see them developing their computational thinking skill, not just programming. — Lada Lobas, 2013.
ZeroRobotics — what students do, programming satellites on the ISS
ZeroRobotics is a world tournament hosted by MIT and NASA. Students write algorithms for the Astrobee satellites to accomplish tasks relevant to future space missions. Teams that make it through virtual simulations to the finals compete in a live tournament where astronauts load student-developed code onto the satellites onboard the International Space Station. Astronauts serve as referees in the finals, and everything is streamed in real time to student viewers on Earth.
