Introduction

International Conference on Computational Thinking Education 2018 (CTE2018) is the second international conference organized by the CoolThink@JC Programme Team for worldwide sharing of ideas as well as dissemination of findings and outcomes on the implementation of computational thinking development. CTE2018 will comprise keynote speeches, panel discussions, paper presentations, and exhibitions. All the accepted papers in the conference will be published in ISBN-coded proceedings.

CTE 2018 aims to:

  • Gain insights from internationally renowned scholars and professionals on how to promote computational thinking development in different stages of learning including K-12 and tertiary sectors;
  • Exchange on the latest development of the technological world on how to facilitate students’ computational thinking development from K-12 to tertiary sector;
  • Disseminate findings and outcomes on the implementation of computational thinking development in K-12 and tertiary sector; and
  • Showcase students’ learning outcomes through computational thinking development to the general public.
