Introduction to Computing and Programming for all

The TeachScheme! Project reaches out to teachers who wish to understand the new approach to teaching introductory computer science. This project wants to turn Computing and Programming into an indispensable part of the liberal arts curriculum. Students who learn to design programs properly learn to analyze a problem statement; express its essence, abstractly and with examples; formulate statements and comments in a precise language; evaluate and revise these activities in light of checks and tests; and pay attention to details. This benefits all students, not just those who wish to study computing. For students who wish to pursue other disciplines, this curriculum shows how they can use computing to model the phenomena they will encounter elsewhere.

Note: While I am not working on this project, the reference is included, because it is the foundation for the HtDCH project, which is my primary interest.
