INTRODUCTION

What is computational thinking?

”Computational thinking is the thought processes involved in formulating a problem and expressing its solution(s) in such a way that a computer – human or machine – can effectively carry it out.“

• Decomposition - to break the problem into smaller parts, which are easier to solve.
• Abstraction - to ignore the irrelevant details and focus on the the real problems.
• Pattern recognition - to recognize patterns in the problems.
• Algorithm Design - make solutions to the problems in series of steps.

CHALLENGE

Your institution is throwing a huge party! Usually there is a the very traditional summer-party and a winter-party, but this time, it is going to be a autumn-party. There is a problem with water on the floor in the hall, where you normally celebrate. The cantina normally delivers food to the parties, but this time they are too busy and can't do it.

Describe in you own words, what in computational thinking?

Discuss how you would solve the problems with the party use as many of the principles from computational thinking as possible.
