Informatics may be considered a fourth type of language on par with spoken language, written language and mathematics. Using informatics for discovery, expression and problem solving is changing the practice of all disciplines. The European Commission's Digital Education Action Plan has among other things a focus on inclusive high-quality informatics education at all levels of education, and earlier this year the Informatics for All coalition published their Informatics Reference Framework for School. We give an overview of these current developments and provide examples of how the integration of informatics into natural science education may be a driver for disciplinary renewal.
