Introduction to Computational Thinking

What you will learn?

This is a full year course for students in 9th grade and above. This introductory course provides students with a foundational understanding of computational thinking, using a problem-solving approach that involves breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable steps and then uses technology to solve them. Through hands-on experience with the Python programming language, students will develop essential computational skills, including algorithmic thinking, data analysis, and program design.
