In all developed countries, great attention has been paid in recent years to the development of computational thinking in education. Seymour Papert has been working with this concept since the 1960s. In the last five years, more than 5,000 articles on the issue of developing computer thinking have been registered in the Web of Science database. It would seem that computational thinking concerns teaching of computer science and training of computer scientists or IT specialists. Not. Regardless of our specialization, computational thinking can help us understand an increasingly digitized society. Just as mathematical thinking, reading literacy or visual literacy can help us solve common problems or design algorithms, so we will use computational thinking and algorithmic thinking in solving everyday problems, just think logically. In the course, we will focus on how and why informatics is being introduced in many countries not only in primary and secondary schools, but even in kindergartens. We will try to solve some tasks. This can be the beginning of understanding artificial intelligence that will affect our lives more and more. Course participants will design and defend their project, which they can solve individually or in a team collaboration.

Ve všech vyspělých zemích se v posledních letech věnuje ve vzdělávání velká pozornost rozvoji informatického myšlení. S tímto konceptem pracoval už od 60. let Seymour Papert. V databázi Web of Science je za posledních 5 let evidováno více než 5000 článků k problematice rozvíjení informatického myšlení. Zdálo by se, že informatické myšlení se týká výuky informatiky a přípravy počítačových expertů, IT specialistů. Nikoliv. Informatické myšlení nám může bez ohledu na naši specializaci pomoci v chápání čím dál tím více digitalizované společnosti. Podobně jako matematické myšlení, čtenářská gramotnost či vizuální gramotnost nám mohou pomoci řešit běžné problémy nebo navrhovat algoritmy, tak informatické myšlení a algoritmické uvažování uplatníme při řešení každodenních problémů, stačí jen logicky myslet. V kurzu se budeme věnovat tomu, jak a proč se v různých zemích zavádí informatika nejen do základních a středních škol, ale dokonce už do škol mateřských. Vyzkoušíme si řešit některé úlohy. Měli bychom se začít připravovat na to, že v našem životě se začnou stále víc a víc uplatňovat aplikace umělé inteligence. Účastníci kurzu navrhnou a obhájí svůj projekt, který mohou řešit individuálně nebo v týmové spolupráci.
