Computational Thinking Jeannette M. Wing President’s Professor of Computer Science and Department Head Computer Science Department Carnegie Mellon University ©2007 Jeannette M. Wing My Grand Vision for the Field • Computational thinking will be a fundamental skill used by everyone in the world by the middle of the 21st Century. – Just like reading, writing, and arithmetic. – Imagine every child knowing how to think like a computer scientist! – Incestuous: Computing and computers will enable the spread of computational thinking. Computational Thinking 2 Jeannette M. Wing Computational Thinking • C.T. enables what one human being cannot do alone – For solving problems – For designing systems – For understanding the power and limits of human and machine intelligence Computational Thinking 3 Jeannette M. Wing The Two A’s of Computational Thinking • Abstraction – C.T. is operating in terms of multiple layers of abstraction simultaneously – C.T. is defining the relationships the between layers • Automation – C.T. is thinking in terms of mechanizing the abstraction layers and their relationships • Mechanization is possible due to precise and exacting notations and models – There is some “machine” below (human or computer, virtual or physical) • They give us the ability and audacity to scale.
