Introduces teachers to computational thinking and fundamental computing concepts such as decomposition, data representation, and generalization/abstraction is introduced using at least one block-based, visual (drag-and-drop) programming language (e.g. Alice, Blockly, Kodu, Logo, Scratch, Snap!). Introduces basic programming and design skills using at least one modern, high-level programming language (e.g. Python, Java, C/C++/C#). Includes variables, conditionals, sequencing, events, loops, functions, etc.
