Overview

Cost: Free

This course is delivered in Welsh.

Summary

Computational thinking is a core skill within the Digital Competence Framework (DCF) and is increasingly recognised as essential for problem‑solving across all Areas of Learning and Experience (AoLEs).

This course supports educators to confidently understand, teach, and embed the four pillars of computational thinking (abstraction, decomposition, algorithms, and pattern recognition) through practical approaches. By strengthening practitioners’ knowledge and confidence, the course helps ensure learners can apply computational thinking purposefully and creatively across the curriculum.
