This module introduces computational thinking and coding fundamentals: breaking a problem down, recognising patterns, and building a solution as an algorithm before it becomes code.

Candidates write, test and debug simple programs, and come away with the core concepts, variables, logic, iteration, functions, that underpin every programming language, not just one.

What you'll learn

  • Computational thinking: problem decomposition, patterns, abstraction
  • Designing algorithms using flowcharts and pseudocode
  • Core programming concepts: variables, data types, logic
  • Iteration, conditionals, procedures and functions
  • Testing, debugging and releasing a program
