Data Structures in Programming: Lists

Data Structures in Programming: Lists

In programming, data structures allow us to store information in an orderly fashion. They help to properly organize data to solve more complex problems or to do it in a more efficiently. In previous posts, we talked about data structures in programming, specifically arrays and matrices. Today we will look at another type of data […]

What Is Computational Thinking?

What Is Computational Thinking?

Computational thinking has been booming in education since it was included in the new educational curricula. Here, it is proposed that computational skills are worked on transversally like other subjects, but… What is Computational Thinking? Definitions of Computational Thinking The first definition was introduced by Jeannette Wing in 2006: “Computational thinking involves solving problems, designing […]

What Are Boolean Operators and Their Types

What Are Boolean Operators and Their Types

Robby’s laboratory is an activity within Smartick Coding that is used to teach concepts about the use of variables, input, output, and different types of data in programming. In the laboratory, we can find data that are numbers, shapes, or letters, but we can also find new data there, such as Boolean operators. What are […]

Types of Programming Exercises in Smartick Coding

Types of Programming Exercises in Smartick Coding

In a previous post, we spoke about basic coding concepts: instructions and control structures. Today we will expand on the topic a bit more and explain the different programming exercises children learn with Smartick Coding. All teachers agree on the importance of reading code as much as possible in order to write it correctly. This […]

Smartick Coding and the Importance of Programming

Smartick Coding and the Importance of Programming

What is Smartick Coding? Every certain number of sessions, students that do Smartick math are presented with a Smartick Coding session. That way, they work on computational thinking that, we will discuss in this and future posts, is very closely related to mathematical, logical, and abstract thinking. Smartick Coding is an ambitious project that works from […]
