“Narrative imagining — story — is the fundamental instrument of thought. Rational capacities depend upon it. It is our chief means of looking into the future, or predicting, of planning, and of explaining." — Mark Turner.A few weeks ago, I put out a call over our state's Computer Science Education Listserv, which anyone is free to join here, with the subject line of, "Looking for a cool student story to highlight at a state level…” I wanted to share these stories with Governor Asa Hutchinson so he could continue to be aware of some of the real-life outcomes of his vision and focus.
