Initiative overview
The National Plan for Digital Languages is an initiative specifically oriented to the training of teachers and education professionals in topics related to the development of computational thinking ” understood as a way of solving problems ” and another, to computational programming and physical computational programming, more commonly known as robotics. Computational thinking includes skills to model and decompose a problem, process data, abstract, generalize, recognize patterns, and create algorithms. Meanwhile, computer programming is the way to give precise instructions to the computer so that it can execute them and solve a problem for us in a general way.
