(2006) argued that computational thinking involves three key constructs: Algorithms, Abstraction, and Automation. An algorithm is a step-by-step series of instructions. Abstraction involves generalizing and transferring the problem-solving process to similar problems (Barr and Stephenson 2011). Finally, automation involves using digital and simulation tools to mechanize problem solutions. The idea of computational thinking in education can be traced back to the work of Papert in 1980, with the term most often associated with Wing from 2006. The recent focus on computational thinking as a key 21st-century skill for all students has led to several curriculum initiatives. But only over the last five years or so has computational thinking become a

The effort of this paper is to give a little bit of education and knowledge tothose entrepreneurs, particularly in a technology-related field, so they can make more informedchoices and have some realistic ideas of cost versus benefits.Filing intellectual property has long been the pathway for a start-up to establish legitimacy,protection, and much needed capital.

Instead of relying on the educator to provide content and guidance,the group had to work out a myriad of issues on its own. Issues like how to get to know eachother, what to talk about, how to openly share one’s thoughts and emotions, what rules ofengagement to agree on, and how to improve one’s interpersonal skills, the
