Computational Thinking Education In K-12 Av Siu-Cheung Kong, Harold Abelsom

<b>A guide to computational thinking education, with a focus on artificial intelligence literacy and the integration of computing and physical objects.<br> </b><br><br>Computing has become an essential part of today’s primary and secondary school curricula. In recent years, K–12 computer education has shifted from computer science itself to the broader perspective of computational thinking (CT), which is less about technology than a way of thinking and solving problems—“a fundamental skill for everyone, not just computer scientists,” in the words of Jeanette Wing, author of a foundational article on CT. This volume introduces a variety of approaches to CT in K–12 education, offering a wide range of international perspectives that focus on artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and the integration of computing and physical objects.<br> <br>The book first offers an overview of CT and its importance in K–12 education, covering such t
