This section introduces students to what is meant by computational thinking, why we use this to solve problems and how to use algorithms to describe problems. Areas covered include:

          * What is meant by abstraction and why abstraction is important

          * How to create an abstract model

          * Identifying inputs and outputs

          * Why programmers build reusable components

          * Breaking a problem down
