In this seminar session, Dr Aman Yadav (Michigan State University) presents some of his work on computational thinking for primary school learners. Computational thinking has been argued as a way to bring computer science learning experiences to formal schooling. However, there are still questions about its value and whether computational thinking is any different from other forms of thinking (such as mathematical thinking) that were argued as being important for all learners. In the video, Aman discusses what makes computational thinking unique for primary schooling and how we should go beyond pushing computer science goals when integrating computational thinking. He discusses findings from the CT4EDU project that showcase what primary teachers consider to be the value of computational thinking. Aman also discusses the need to broaden the goals of computing education to create a more just and equitable world.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a global nonprofit with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies. Our vision is that every young person develops:
* The knowledge, skills, and confidence to use computers and digital technologies effectively in their work, community, and personal life; to solve problems and to express themselves creatively
* Sufficient understanding of societal and ethical issues to be able to critically evaluate digital technologies and their application, and to design and use technology for good
* The mindsets that enable them to confidently engage with technological change and to continue learning about new and emerging technologies
