Brief description Digital Futures: Computational Thinking Tools for Foundational Learning. This project supports early childhood educators in teaching computational thinking (CT) fundamentals through movement, social play and hands-on exploration. Researchers from QUT will partner with C&K educators to develop and evaluate new interactive technologies and resources that align with how young children naturally learn with their bodies. Integrating early childhood education, movement science and technology design, the project will produce CT technology tools, classroom activities and online educational learning resources to help early childhood educators introduce CT concepts—like sequencing, pattern recognition, problem-solving—in physically active, social, and developmentally appropriate ways that suit young children's needs.
