April Webinar: Computational Thinking Practices

Monday, April 25, 2011 
7pm-8pm EST

Scratch supports the cultivation of computational thinking, a set of concepts, practices, and perspectives that draw on ideas from the world of computing. In the past few years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of computational thinking for understanding and solving problems in a wide range of contexts, not only in the field of computer science. As young people program and share Scratch projects, they begin to develop as computational thinkers: they learn core computational and mathematical concepts, while also learning important strategies for designing, problem solving, and collaborating.

In this second of three webinars focused on computational thinking, we will focus on computational thinking practices (iterative and incremental designing, testing and debugging, remixing and reusing, abstracting and modularizing).

All webinars will be recorded and shared on ScratchEd.
