Applying Computer Science Thinking to All Subjects
Description:
Teaching students computational thinking skills equips them with the tools to solve real-world problems using the fundamentals of computer science. Through concepts such as algorithmic thinking, pattern recognition and experimentation, students apply computer science basics to breaking down complex scenarios in every field. This session explores how these skills can be applied to real-world social justice projects, inspiring students to change the world in wonderful ways.
