CT Skills: Teacher Edition | Work It Out Wombats!®

Designed for teachers using the Work It Out Wombats! collection on PBS LearningMedia, this video introduces teachers to preschool and kindergarten computational thinking (CT)—a creative way of thinking that helps young students solve problems in more organized ways, using a toolkit of skills from computer science. Illustrated with clips from the popular PBS KIDS animated show, the video demonstrates eight CT skills in age-appropriate ways: sequences and algorithms, problem decomposition, pattern recognition, cause and effect, abstraction and representation, the design process, the debugging process, and systems.
