Twenty Things

Twenty Things

Fifty years ago, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon published a remarkable paper titled, “Twenty Things to Do with a Computer.” This paper predicted the maker movement, 1:1 computing, and challenged schools to embrace computers as intellectual laboratories and vehicles for self-expression. Gary Stager, co-author of Invent To Learn – Making, Tinkering, and Engineering in the Classroom, worked with Dr. Papert for more than two decades and continues to work with Dr. Solomon. He is at work on publishing an all-star anthology celebrating the anniversary of this groundbreaking work.
