Connecting the Dots - Computational Thinking - Junior Track

Inspired by recent discussions on social media highlighting the need for a more foundational approach to learning, we have identified critical topics that encourage students to explore and engage with scientific principles. Our blog post, Conceptual Learning: What, Why and How, offers a comprehensive overview of the importance of conceptual learning in science education.

In today’s world, computers have revolutionised how we work, communicate, and solve problems. While many programs teach students how to code or build robots, computational thinking goes deeper, focusing on the core principles that make computers so powerful. Here’s why it matters:

🌟 Foundations Over Flash

• Coding and robotics are great, but they often teach surface-level skills. Computational thinking builds a solid foundation by helping students understand how and why computers solve problems the way they do.

• This course focuses on problem-solving frameworks that students can apply in any context, even beyond computer science.
