Because of the influence of computers, “computational thinking” capitalizes on the particular computer features, such as data mining,and algorithmic reasoning.
The mission of the Center for Computational Thinking is to advance computing research and advocate for the widespread use of computational thinking to improve people’s lives.
“Computational Thinking is the thought processes involved in formulating problems and their solutions so that the solutions are represented in a form that can be effectively carried out by an information-processing agent.”
