Technology influences everything-- the way we work, play, communicate, teach, and learn. Sure, your students can navigate their iPad or smartphone like a pro, but do they really understand these complex systems? Are they equipped to solve challenging problems and design the technology of the future? To better prepare students for an increasingly computational world, educators must introduce computer science concepts early and often throughout their schooling. In this course, we’ll demystify computational thinking (an effective problem solving process) and unpack the skills, concepts, and mental habits needed to solve complex problems. Learn how the universal components of computational thinking like decomposition, pattern recognition, and debugging apply not only to science and math, but also to literature and art! Tinker with some free coding tools and learn strategies to engage students of all ages and backgrounds in abstract thinking and creativity with computers. Whether you teach general ed, STEM, kindergarten or middle school, this course will provide the knowledge and strategies you need to create a community of future-ready computational thinkers!
