Lee, Victor R.; Recker, Mimi – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2018
In this paper, we propose that paper circuitry provides a productive space for exploring aspects of computational thinking, an increasingly critical 21st century skills for all students. We argue that the creation and operation of paper circuits involve learning about computational concepts such as rule-based constraints, operations, and defined…
