This course introduces the students to computational thinking.

This course introduces the students to computational thinking. They will use their decomposition skills to break down simple non-computerised tasks into precise, step-by-step instructions (algorithmic thinking). 

The students will learn about programming principles such as input, output, sequence, selection, and iterations (repeats).

Skills

Students are given time to plan, create and test a game in Scratch, with user input. Students will learn to debug to correct any errors. They will also write an efficient algorithm for the creation of a friendship bracelet. This must include the programming principles and be efficient code.
