A Bedrock Skill Set for Future STEM Success
What is computational thinking (CT), and what does it have to do with young children? The answer: more than you might think!
This book explains what CT is and its applications beyond computers and other technology-based devices. Making the case for why CT is relevant for everyone, particularly preschoolers, it provides research-based information and developmentally appropriate strategies for how teachers can help children grow their CT skills.
The book includes
An introduction to CT explaining how it supports breaking down and solving problems, developing both logic and creativity
An in-depth overview of the four major CT skills—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking—and the key concepts that underlie them
Ideas for integrating CT in the preschool learning setting, including ways to embed play-based, technology-free learning experiences in familiar routines and learning centers as well as examples of what this can look like
Detailed guidance for using stories to introduce coding concepts in a meaningful way
Calls to action for educators to take to further their own understanding of CT, partner with families and the community, and advocate for the importance of CT
Use this resource to help prepare the next generation of creative thinkers and problem solvers.
