13. The WHY of this workshop (Dr. Schafer’s opinions)
Teachers are better able to convey their subject(s) when they can approach the material through a variety of techniques and modes.

14. The WHY of this workshop (Dr. Schafer’s opinions)
Children don't get ideas; they make ideas. Learners are particularly likely to make new ideas when they are actively engaged in making some type of external artifact – be it a robot, a poem, a sand castle, or a computer program.

15. The WHY of this workshop (Dr. Schafer’s opinions)
ALL students should be exposed to the subject of computational thinking via programming.
