Background
Designed for integration across subjects, the program offers hands-on tools, teacher support, and extension pathways from beginner to advanced levels.
Computational thinking is a thought process which focuses on the use of algorithms (a set of steps) to explore authentic problems. It can be conceptualised as not only a problem-solving process, but driver of learning.
Computational thinking connects to 21st century competencies such as creativity, critical thinking
and problem solving (Paniagua & Istance, 2018). The process requires and develops important executive functions such as working memory, response inhibition and planning (Arfé et al., 2019). It is often associated with digital technology, but it can be applied to many logical problem-solving situations, especially those relate to STEM.
