Classroom Leaders
Computational thinking is a fundamental skill set that empowers students to solve complex problems systematically and efficiently, transcending traditional boundaries between disciplines. In this session, we will explore practical strategies for integrating computational thinking skills across the STEM curriculum. Participants will learn how to teach computational thinking concepts such as algorithms, abstraction, pattern recognition, and debugging through engaging activities and projects. We will discuss how computational thinking enhances problem-solving abilities in mathematics, science, engineering, and technology, preparing students for success in a digital age. Attendees will leave with a toolkit of resources, lesson plans, and assessment strategies for cultivating computational thinking skills in their classrooms.
