## What it is
MIT course 18.S191/18.C25 teaching computational thinking using the Julia programming language with interactive Pluto notebooks. It covers data analysis, mathematical modeling, image analysis, machine learning, network theory, and climate modeling as an integrated curriculum.

## Use cases
- learn computational thinking with Julia
- find an introductory data science course with interactive notebooks
- study mathematical modeling of real-world problems
- learn Julia through hands-on examples
- teach a university course on computational thinking
- explore image analysis and climate modeling examples in Pluto notebooks

## When to choose
- you want a free, university-quality introduction to computational thinking
- you prefer learning via interactive Pluto/Jupyter-style notebooks
- you want Julia as a first programming or scientific computing language
- you need ready-made course materials for teaching

## When to avoid
- you need production software rather than educational materials
- you want a course in a language other than Julia
- you need a formal certification or graded program

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
