  • Abstract

    After the computational thinking sessions in the previous 2016 and 2017 editions of TEEM Conference, the third edition of this track has been organized in the current 2018 edition. Computational thinking is still a very significant topic, especially, but not only, in pre-university education. However, an important debate exists about how computer science concepts should be introduced in pre-university studies. Most of the proposals join computational thinking issues and programming, but there are many options and opinions. In this track, some interesting contributions are presented.
