Abstract
Multiple initiatives contend that all students should master computational thinking, including the Next Generation Science Standards, the K-12 Framework for Computational Thinking, and Code.org. In turn, many physics teachers have begun to explore a variety of approaches to integrating computational modeling through programming. These activities go beyond graphical analysis tools and interactive simulations that have been a recent staple for physics educators.Keywords
