The Joy of Coding

Professor Raj Rao in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan is writing to tell you about an online course (The Joy of Coding) they created especially for high school students to learn coding in ways that are better structured and better supported than other resources (including MOOCs) available online. Here is a note for why we felt this is important and essential.
