Study Notes

  • Computational thinking (CT) is a problem-solving approach using computers to formulate and execute solutions to problems. (Wing, 2014)
  • CT skills include: decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. (Lecture 1)
  • CT can be used by anyone, such as mathematicians during long division or scientists during experimental procedures.
  • The design thinking model, designed by the Hasso-Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University, has five main steps: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.
  • Advantages of developing computational thinking skills include: effective problem solving, improved programming abilities, and enhanced critical thinking and creativity. (Implied in text)
