LCT - Computational Thinking in Action Lesson

Computational Thinking in Action

In this lesson you will further explore the characteristics of computational thinking and how you can approach problems

Today, practically everyone is a computer user, and many people even program. The core of computer science is problem solving. Computer Science uses computational thinking to formulate problems in a way to use computers to help solve them.  It involves such skills as critical thinking, algorithmic thinking and logical thinking. Everyone can benefit from learning how to become a better problem solver. Computational thinking involves strategies for solving problems. Each characteristic has a role in solving problems.
