Nowadays, computational thinking has been widely recognized as a fundamentalskill to be used by everyone in the world by the middle of the 21st Century. Computationalthinking is also considered crucial for developing engineering habits of minds and solvingengineering problems [2]. When students work on coding, they can learn how to design acomputer program while developing their computational thinking skills [3]. Computationalthinking (CT) includes the thought processes involved in formulating problems, solvingproblems, building systems, and human behavior through the lens of computer science concepts[4]. However, little is known about how and to what extent children acquire
