Wow. @MIT's course "Introduction to Computational Thinking" is a truly amazing initiative!
YT:
So glad they brought in @3blue1brown! + @JuliaLanguage!🤯By doing this MIT has shown once more that they are the true innovators.

* Powerful interactive notebooks (like @PlutoJL and @ProjectJupyter) that promote active learning.
* High-quality animations/visualizations (created using open-source libs such as github.com/3b1b/manim).
* Contextual approach with lots of example.

* + the best educators in the world, leveraging the scale that platforms such as @YouTube give us, is a glimpse into the future of education!
I know that @YouTube + @MIT shaped who I am - that much is certain. My self-education path heavily relied on them. Forever grateful.

One day I'll give it back.
When we're at it I just became @NumFOCUS's GitHub sponsor! The projects those guys support (like @numpy_team, @matplotlib, @pandas_dev, @SciPyTip, @JuliaLanguage, etc.) are priceless. Super grateful to them as well.

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm deeply passionate about reinventing the schooling system.
Kids of the future will be way more effective/efficient at learning, way more independent (self-education will play a crucial role), and critical thinkers.

Computational thinking being just 1 dimension.
We're nowhere near reaching our potential as a society - and reforming the schooling system will play a crucial role there.

Finally, after skimming the course and watching some lectures the only remark for the course is that it should be more top-down.
@jeremyphoward + @3blue1brown - now that would be a combo that would blow my mind!
In any case, this is a huge leap forward, IMHO.
