1.1 Computational Thinking

What is Computational Thinking?

• Computational thinking is a problem-solving approach that uses the concepts of computer science to break down problems into smaller, more manageable steps.
• Computational thinking is not about programming, but it can be used to help people learn to program.
• It is also a valuable skill for anyone who wants to be able to solve problems in a systematic and efficient way.
