Hi All, For those of you who don't know her, Prof. Lorena Barba is one of the leaders in thinking and designing better courses to teach computational science, particularly at the undergraduate engineering level. I enjoyed this last piece she wrote on Medium, and I think you will too, particularly if you are interested in understanding more of the educational literature by Papert and Guzdial in the context of motivating and empowering students.
