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)
