Summary

This article explores how K-12 educators, particularly those in arts, humanities, and general education, can teach computational thinking without using computers. It addresses teachers' hesitation about coding and computer science, and presents a non-computer-based design activity that helps students recognize and practice computational thinking principles. The piece emphasizes that computational thinking is a foundational skill that can be taught across disciplines, not just in technology-focused classrooms.
