Computational Thinking Workshop
Young people will think like a computer by learning about the four fundamental principles of computational thinking, and applying these to a range of real life challenges and puzzles.
Curriculum links
-
Develop and apply their analytic, problem-solving, design, and computational thinking skills.
-
Can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation.
-
Understand several key algorithms that reflect computational thinking (for example, ones for sorting and searching); use logical reasoning to compare the utility of alternative algorithms for the same problem
Logistics and Planning:
-
Computational Thinking requires a standard classroom
-
This session is designed for a group of 30 learners.
-
Between 1 - 2 hours.
-
We ask that a teacher is always present throughout the activities, to support learner engagement and manage behaviour.
