	Description:		Think about how you learn most technical or detail-oriented subjects? You start at the bottom, lowest level and you create building blocks and work your way into the actual thing you care about. This happens in engineering, in math, and even in programming. Our guest this week, Dr. Allen Downey, believes that computation and programming can help us turn this inside-out way of teaching right-side out again. Join Allen and me as we discuss programming as a way of thinking and physical modeling and engineering in Python.
