In paraphrasing Jeannette M. Wing’s definition of computational thinking, it deals with providing solutions to complex problems, creating effective systems, and having a good understanding of how ...

In a sense, it sounds like that’s another facet of computational thinking that’s more relevant in the age of AI—the abstractions of statistics and probability in addition to algorithms and data ...

It's high time for students to move beyond an hour of coding exercises and learn computational thinking. That's the message of a new report from Digital Promise that examines what's important to know ...

What does navigating the New York City subway have to do with teaching computer science? More than most teachers might at first suspect. Like coding, analog maps of the subway can be used to teach ...

Computational thinking is increasingly recognised as a fundamental approach to problem solving that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. It involves organising complex challenges into ...

Boost student engagement through the core concepts of computational thinking: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking. In this session, you’ll learn how to integrate ...

Over the last few years, the journalism community has discussed mindset, skillset, journalist-programmers, and other ideas aimed not just at “saving journalism,” but making journalism better. Perhaps ...

This is an edited excerpt from “How to Teach Computational Thinking,” first published by Stephen Wolfram on Sept. 7, 2016. Pick any field “X,” from archaeology to zoology. There either is now a ...

Computation is playing an increasing role in all STEM fields, and the ability for students to use and understand various computational tools is vital to long term success. It is not a question of if ...
