Computational Thinking across the Curriculum Workshop Amber Settle and Ljubomir Perkovic DePaul University June 11, 2010 Work supported by the National Science Foundation

Overview Three-year project (July 2008 – June 2011) funded through the NSF CPATH program Overview ▫Integration of CT into existing, discipline-specific courses  Categorization of CT instances across disciplines  Inclusion of a wide range of disciplines  Traditional: Computer science, information technology  Allied: Animation, statistics, the sciences  Others: Art, digital cinema, history ▫Broad and diverse faculty participation  First year: College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM)  Second year: College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and other Chicago-area universities (IIT, Loyola, UIC)  Third year: The University of Chicago Lab Schools

What is computational thinking? The application of computational processes/concepts/techniques to reason about problems in any field ▫It is a way of thinking ▫It provides an approach for:  Framing questions  Solving problems  Gaining new insight It is something people in many fields are already doing ▫Biology: Understanding DNA ▫Economics: Modeling financial systems ▫Humanities: Mining crime databases

What is NOT computational thinking? Computer literacy ▫May be a necessary prerequisite to CT Simple application of computational tools to problems ▫Using statistical software ▫Publishing materials online ▫Creating a database Computational thinking should use computational tools/concepts/ideas in a significant way to ask new questions or gain new insight into problems

Great Principles of Computing Peter Denning’s Great Principles of Computing ▫Computation ▫Communication ▫Coordination ▫Recollection ▫Automation ▫Evaluation ▫Design Used by us as a way of classifying/understanding computational thinking concepts
