Abstract

Since Jeannette Wing wrote her opinion paper on Computational Thinking in 2006 [1], there has been much discussion about the idea of making computational thinking a central component of the effort to expose the field of computing to all disciplines. This panel will cover national and local efforts taking place in universities to bring computational thinking to the forefront of all disciplines that use computing in their field.
