STEM talkABLE #2: Computational Thinking in Early Childhood

 In this episode, Dr. Wadors Verne and Dr. Amsbary discuss what computational thinking looks like for young children with and without disabilities. They describe the application and the aid of computational thinking on the foundation of repetition, looping, causation, debugging, and algorithms. They review how these components of computational thinking enact in our daily lives, from setting up the meal tables, washing hands, to playtime with blocks, incorporating actions and words, and how some of the foundational tactics can be applied to children with different intellectual, motor, and interest levels.
