Building computational thinking refers to developing problem-solving skills and logical reasoning abilities through programming and computer science concepts.
Building computational thinking is like constructing a puzzle. You start with individual pieces (programming concepts) and gradually put them together to form a complete picture (problem-solving skills). Just as solving puzzles improves your ability to think critically, building computational thinking enhances your problem-solving abilities.
Algorithm Design: Algorithm design involves creating step-by-step instructions or procedures to solve specific problems efficiently.
Abstraction: Abstraction is the process of simplifying complex problems by focusing on essential details while ignoring unnecessary complexities.
Logical Reasoning: Logical reasoning involves using rational thinking and deduction to analyze information, make decisions, and solve problems based on logical principles.
