Abstract
As the world has become increasingly digital, coding has become an ever-more-essential tool in a STEM toolbelt. Software drives the way we live and interact with the world—especially in the last year! And, momentum is growing for teaching coding in schools. However, coding is often taught in isolation from other subjects, with contrived “problems” to be solved. If students are to become independent and self-reliant (a primary goal of education), they need opportunities to work on creative and open-ended projects.
