Fluctuating computer science enrollments and the realization that many disciplines require basic computing knowledge are leading to an increased interest in non-majors (CS0) computing courses. Currently, there is no single dominant model of CS0 that simultaneously teaches the big ideas underlying computing, provides practical experience with programming, and makes computing relevant to a wide spectrum of students. What has become clear, however, is that meaningful, real-world applications are needed to drive student interest and learning. This paper describes one particular application, the Prisoner's Dilemma, that bridges game theory and evolutionary biology and provides a framework for critical thinking, modeling, and interdisciplinary problem solving within a CS0 course.
