About the Course
Description
Applied Computational Thinking (NCLab):
In this advanced online, self-paced, learn-by-doing course Learners deepen their programming and problem-solving skills through interactive, logic-based activities with a virtual robot. Building on foundational coding concepts, they create custom functions, use variables, work with conditionals and Boolean logic, and explore randomness, probability, and lists. Learners are introduced to recursion and efficient algorithm design while solving complex mazes and real-world inspired challenges. They analyze program structure and efficiency, track movement with GPS coordinates, and simulate probabilistic events. This course builds confidence in computational thinking and prepares learners for programming in Python and solving sophisticated technical problems across STEM fields.
