Computational Thinking
Computational thinking (CT) is a study of the problem-solving skills and tactics involved in writing or debugging software programs and applications.
Computational thinking is closely related to computer science, although it focuses primarily on the big-picture process of abstract thinking used in developing computational programs rather than on the study of specific programming languages. As a result, it often serves as an introduction to more in-depth computer science courses.
