How do students learn to think like problem-solvers, creators, and coders? This session explores the 21 Things 4 Students Computational Thinking Thing, where learners dive into the four key stages of computational thinking—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithms. By breaking down problems, spotting patterns, filtering details, and building step-by-step solutions, students gain the strategies needed to tackle challenges across math, science, writing, and even everyday life.
Teachers and curriculum teams will discover how this unit:
- Equips students with practical tools for analyzing and solving complex problems.
- Builds connections between computational thinking and real-world problem solving.
- Transitions naturally into coding as students apply their strategies to create games and automate tasks.
- Strengthens logical thinking, creativity, and confidence through hands-on Quests and Gold-level challenges.
Whether used to enhance STEM learning or integrated across subject areas, Computational Thinking empowers students to approach challenges with clarity, creativity, and confidence.
