Understanding the computational concepts on which countless digital applications run offers adolescents the opportunity to no longer simply read such media but also become more discerning end users and potentially innovative “writers” of new media themselves. In this column, we make the case for coding as a new literacy and the potential of teaching code to learners through a series of workshops. Through the workshop process, learners not only develop the logic and problem-solving skills to think computationally but also socialize with one another through their coded stories, developing a wider appreciation of what it means to participate computationally.
