Abstract

Computational thinking is one of the pillars of the ACM-CSTA standards for teaching computer science from kindergarten to college. Our approaches Abenteuer Informatik -- Informatik begreifen (adventures in informatics -- hands on computer science) and Abenteuer Technik are well established in the german-speaking community as means to connect computer science with other subjects and as means of clarifying some prejudices against computer science, especially problematic for establishing computer science as subject in schools.
