More specifically, attention is given to computational algorithmic thinking (CAT), particularly among underrepresented K12 student groups in STEM education. Computational algorithmic thinking (CAT)a precursor to CTis explored in this text as the ability to design, implement, and evaluate the application of algorithms to solve a variety of problems. Drawing on observations from research studies that focused on innovative STEM programs, including underrepresented students in rural, suburban, and urban contexts,.
