At Carnegie Institute for Coding, Creativity and Ethics, we are all computational thinkers.
Computational thinking is a problem-solving process that involves various skills, such as logical analysis, pattern recognition, abstraction of problems from the real world, and algorithmic thinking. This process aids in breaking down complex problems into manageable parts, which can then be addressed in a systematic way, often with the aid of computers.
Developing computational thinking in children equips them with crucial skills for the digital age.
Computational thinking not only improves one's ability to understand and use technology but also enhances critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities across all areas of life. By fostering this mindset from a young age, students are better prepared to face future challenges and opportunities in an increasingly technological society.
Taking an interdisciplinary approach helps develop leadership skills.
Each program is integrated with elements from computer science, arts, philosophy, and critical sociology to enrich students’ learning experiences. This interdisciplinary approach not only bolsters technical skills but also enhances students' ability to articulate ideas, empathize with others, and engage in meaningful discussions.
