23: Teaching computational thinking with Linda Liukas

Recorded at Øredev 2017, Fredrik talks to children's programming book writer, teacher and all-out inspirer Linda Liukas about her books and how they came to be and teaching children as well as the rest of us programming. We also talk about programming in schools, good tools for learning, and wonder whether we as an industry often miss out on the power of stories as a way to teach, work and learn.
