Technology is always changing and is an important part of of daily life so we need to give students the tools to use it effectively.

Children can use decomposition to help them solve more difficult problems.

We’re going to use technology no matter what in the future so we should prepare students for that.

All jobs involve computational thinking of some sort. It allows them to be versatile not only in their job. But in their lives.

We have had different experiences with computational thinking. It is useful to start start teaching at a young age. Beneficial for students and encouraging to them to challenge themselves and learn

Students who learn computational thinking at a young age will be better equipped to solve problems in all areas of life.

We can implement computational thinking by identifying patterns through reading activities.

The older you get, the more computational thinking you will take part in. It’s a skill that will help you throughout your career

Computational Thinking prepares students for future jobs that may not exist right now.

CS and CT will prepare our students because the generations to come will be using more technology than we could have ever imagined.
