Abstract

This current study reports our attempt to design and implement a course to promote computational thinking and collaborative skills for primary school students in Korea. We have incorporated Wedo 2.0 into fourth graders’ curriculum in various real world problem solving contexts. This paper reports the students’ activities, learning outcomes in terms of computational thinking and collaborative/communication skills.
