Coding is the skill of writing instructions that a computer can execute. Computer science is an academic field of study that covers hardware, software, algorithms, and their applications and impacts on society. Computational thinking is a set of overlapping problem solving skills, which can be used in a variety of different settings. For example:
- Gathering and organizing data to investigate questions and communicate findings
- Expressing procedures as algorithms (that is, a series of logical, precise, repeatable steps that delivers an expected result) to reliably create and analyze processes
- Creating computational models that use data and algorithms to simulate complex systems
- Using and comparing computational models to develop new insights about a subject
The implications of computational thinking stands to impact learning across ages and disciplines in K-12 education.
