			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This episode is a discussion with <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wing/">Jeannette Wing</a> on Computational Thinking. Citing the website of <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~CompThink/">Carnegie Mellon&#8217;s Center for Computational Thinking</a> website, <i>&#8220;computational thinking is a way of solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior that draws on concepts fundamental to computer science.&#8221;</i>. As a consequence of computing being more and more important for today&#8217;s science, <i>&#8220;computational thinking has to be a fundamental part of the way people think and understand the world.&#8221;</i>. Jeannette is a leader in this field, and we discuss various aspect of the topic in this show: what computational thinking is, examples of its importance in various fields of science and strategies about how it can be taught to pupils, students and scientists.</p>
