Computational Thinking (Part 1) - Problem Solving Through Software

Alongside reading, writing, and arithmetic, computational thinking is a skill that everyone living in the AI era must possess. Computational thinking can be simply defined as thinking like a programmer or thinking like a computer scientist. This course faithfully reproduces an actual university semester-long course and covers essential content for those encountering programming for the first time or beginners planning to major in computer science. It also helps non-computer science majors and people with humanities backgrounds develop the ability to communicate easily with professional programmers. Even in an era when we need to learn prompting for AI vibe coding, this course helps learners develop the ability to give AI more accurate and effective instructions through computational thinking.
