Last year I taught myself to juggle, not by watching Youtube videos but by reading a book š¤. The book teaches you how to juggle by formulating the problem as a composition of procedures (yes, like in programming.) The book is Mindstorms by Seymour Papert (1980).
I think Papertās teachings are still very relevant today, especially if you are a parent or an educator and want to understand how children learn and create. He championed the idea of teaching children to code, not for utilitarian reasons, but because coding teaches children to be resilient, to iterate, to embrace mistakes, to think constructively. He developed Logo š¢, and his students later developed Scratch (the other book in the picture is about that.)
Papert was also a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence and co-authored with Marvin Minsky the very famous (or rather infamous) Perceptrons (1969), a very good book that many people cite, and some even blame, but which I suspect many have not really read (admittedly, not an easy read).
Good, timeless stuff from a very prolific mind.
