Center for Computational Thinking & Design

Center for Computational Thinking and Design (CCTD) is a new interdisciplinary center at Aarhus University. The center has the School of Communication and Culture, the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Management as the primary actors. The vision for the center is to further develop the research and educational perspectives on basic IT competencies - the “21st century learning skills”. This work is ongoing, and focuses on all levels of education in Denmark, from primary education to university level curriculum. This work calls for new perspectives on IT education within programming, digital fabrication, digital innovation, design studies, digital methodology amongst others. The center works with these perspectives across educational contexts within the humanities, the social sciences and the natural sciences.
