How to Talk About This Term with Young Children
For Computational Thinking: Encourage children to test sequences they develop during computational thinking activities. Maybe they program a set of arrows to lead a snail through a maze. Encourage them to test the code to determine if it gets the snail where they want it to go! For Engineering: Encourage children to test their ideas either as they build or after completing the build. “Let’s test our design and see if it works.”
