University of Washington: Cs: Six Computational Thinking Practices

The head of the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, Jeannette M. Wing, discusses the importance of addressing computational thinking with young learners.

In this lesson, students learn about the roles of the programmer and the robot, and how the two need to work together in order to accomplish their goal. Students also understand logic behind the robot's actions, and break a big plan down...

Northwestern University frames lessons which bring computational thinking enhanced activities into STEM classrooms.

Computational thinking can be used to take a complex problem, understand what the problem is and develop possible solutions to solve or explain it. In these six Quest, students will learn about the four stages of computational thinking:...

An overview of the seven fundamental principles which make up the content of computer science.

This one-hour introduction communicates to children the topic of computer science. Each additional video shows students demonstrating different concepts in computational thinking.

The head of the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, Jeannette M. Wing, presents her vision that computational thinking will be a fundamental skill used by everyone in the world by the middle of the 21st Century.

A collection of free learning activities that teach computer science through games and puzzles that use cards, string, crayons and lots of running around. The activities introduce students to computational thinking through concepts such...

An environment for learning to program, this guide will help educators foster computational thinking for students in computer science classes.
