Computational Thinking
Ecosystem for the scaling of computational thinking skills
We are creating a digital ecosystem that develops computational thinking skills and reasoning for complexity, with personalized learning tools based on the individual abilities of students.
Scale computational thinking skills, known as the ability to solve real problems with processes of abstraction, decomposition, pattern recognition, generalization, and algorithmic thinking.
Train for the future of work in a digital ecosystem that emulates real world environments.
Design and evaluate a digital ecosystem for solving computational problems.
Mision
Design a digital ecosystem for solving computational problems using learning analytics to assess the performance of university students and understand their computational thinking skills.
Vision
Train people for the future of work in a digital ecosystem that emulates real world environments in a way that is accessible, inclusive and relevant to the requirements of the current labor market.
