Failure as a Tool « Enterprenurial 13 « Khosla Ventures - 0 views

    " "What risks to take on, how much money is too little or too much, are all judgment calls we help entrepreneurs with. Even which technology risk to take, building the right gene pool of a company, is a delicate balancing act between science, innovation, experience, burn rate, and many other factors that are seldom appreciated by people who have not built large, successful companies starting with small ones. Transitions and uncertainty are difficult to intuit." "

Google: Exploring Computational Thinking - 0 views

  •  
    Computational thinking (CT) involves a set of problem-solving skills and techniques that software engineers use to write programs that underlie the computer applications you use such as search, email, and maps. However, computational thinking is applicable to nearly any subject. Students who learn computational thinking across the curriculum begin to see a relationship between different subjects as well as between school and life outside of the classroom. Specific computational thinking techniques include: problem decomposition, pattern recognition, pattern generalization to define abstractions or models, algorithm design, and data analysis and visualization.
