Description
First published in 1980, Mindstorms by Seymour Papert explores how computers can change the way we teach children. Papert argues that children are capable of mastering computers and that teaching computational processes like de-bugging can improve learning in other areas.
The book makes the case for computer programming as a practical way to develop problem-solving and quantitative reasoning skills in children. This new edition includes an introduction by Mitchel Resnick, a former student of Papert's, which introduces his research to a new generation of readers.
With its focus on harnessing the power of computation to improve learning, Mindstorms remains a valuable resource for teachers and parents looking to help their children think clearly and creatively.
