#mdusdchat A4 What I have noticed is that the Ss must problem solve, learn to work together, think creatively, think critically, etc!!

A4: ALL jobs will require computer science--taxi driver, surgeon, fashion designer. It's no longer a luxury, but a necessity. #mdusdchat

A4- Helps Ss break down large problems in to smaller ones. Ss learn to "fail" but then work to find solution. Builds grit. 😀 #mdusdchat
