Summary

This is a reflection on the international computing community’s efforts to define itself as a discipline and inject computing into the core education of everyone. Their aim is to prepare us for the technology-based society in which we work and live. Scholars who aim to explore the nature of No-Boundary Thinking can learn from the self-reflection of the computing discipline, and No-Boundary Thinking might be an essential solution for the effective integration of computing into the core body of knowledge needed by every educated individual. These connections might also assuage the recent frictions between STEM and liberal arts scholar educators.
