Computers are incredible devices! They allow us to achieve much more with our brains as using them enables tracking of vast amounts of information and most importantly the sharing of ideas with other people.
Contrary to common belief, computational thinking is not thinking about computers or in fact like computers, it is the process of pondering or looking at a problem while actively using one’s mind to form connected ideas which may eventually lead to the derivation of step-by-step approaches that might provide a solution.

However, in order for children to develop as Computational Thinkers, they need to be enabled, nurtured and provided with ample opportunity to achieve this, an achievement which is EMPOWERING for any child. Computational thinking is a vital skill and can be ‘owned’ by every child.
Our belief is:[/vc_column_text][porto_blockquote view=”with-borders”]Every child, a Computational Thinker![/porto_blockquote][vc_column_text]Therefore, we are forever working hard to reach as many children as possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row wrap_container=”yes” text_align=”center” is_section=”yes” section_skin=”parallax” remove_margin_top=”yes” remove_margin_bottom=”yes” remove_border=”yes” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-vz-jquery” bg_image_new=”id^40|url^http://www.computationalthinkers.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/testimonial-parallax-bg.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^testimonial-parallax-bg|description^null” css=”.vc_custom_1476780899585{background-color: #fbf9f3 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″][porto_carousel stage_padding=”0″ margin=”10″ autoplay=”yes” autoplay_timeout=”3000″ items=”1″ items_lg=”1″ items_md=”1″ items_sm=”1″ items_xs=”1″ el_class=”wedding-messages m-t-md p-t-xlg p-b-md”][porto_testimonial view=”transparent” style=”testimonial-style-2″ remove_border=”yes” name=”Barack Obama” el_class=”custom-wedding-quotes” name_color=”#ffffff” company=”US President ” role_company_color=”#ffffff” quote_color=”#ffffff” photo_id=”289″]Don’t play on your phone, program it.[/porto_testimonial][porto_testimonial view=”transparent” style=”testimonial-style-2″ remove_border=”yes” name=”Steve Jobs” el_class=”custom-wedding-quotes” name_color=”#ffffff” company=”Founder of Apple ” role_company_color=”#ffffff” quote_color=”#ffffff” photo_id=”290″]Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think.[/porto_testimonial][porto_testimonial view=”transparent” style=”testimonial-style-2″ remove_border=”yes” name=”will.i.am” el_class=”custom-wedding-quotes” name_color=”#ffffff” role_company_color=”#ffffff” quote_color=”#ffffff” photo_id=”291″ company=”XXX”]We all depend on technology to communicate, to bank, and none of us know how to read and write code![/porto_testimonial][/porto_carousel][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
