Computational Thinking for Preschoolers: Nurturing Creative Thinkers and Problem Solvers

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
