A Computational thinking

Computational thinking is a thought process involved in formulating a problem with data available and expressing its solution in such a way that computers can effectively carry it out.

This KS3 Computational thinking module introduces computers to your students, explaining:

  • How to think like a computer
  • Decomposition
  • Algorithm design
  • Different types of computers
  • Data and pattern identification
  • Abstraction
