With thedrive towards this programming trend, recently kids as young as 7 years of age have started tolearn programming basics through several development tools that achieve the learning outcomesthrough Block-based programming2. In such tools, learners are taught about the data structures,loops and programming style by helping them arrange simple colored blocks one after another.In Undergraduate curriculum, most of the students who opt for engineering degrees, do not havethe programming background due to their career interests.

When coupled with the demands of rigorous academic coursework and requirements, thisperiod of development can present significant psychological challenges. Indeed, mental healthconcerns have been increasing on college campuses, as students report more symptoms of stress,depression, and anxiety [2], [3]. This is concerning given the evidence of the link betweenmental health during college and students’ academic achievement, retention, work-ethic, andsocial well-being [1], [4].

This is important for early computing undergraduates whomay need to see computing in a less depoliticized context that is clearly connected to the socialjustice to persist in the field. From an institutional and curricular standpoint, an electivedesignation reduces any illusory competition with other subject areas of computing. While late-career academics may have the authority among their department peers to bring such a courseinto the core, the elective designation supports early career academics who may not be supportedto make such a proposition.
