什么是计算思维?计算思维是运用计算机科学的基础概念进行问题求解、系统设计、以及人类行为理解等涵盖计算机科学之广度的一系列思维活动。

Computational thinking is a series of thinking activities that cover the breadth of computer science, such as problem solving, system design, and human behavior understanding, etc.

海狸运算思维挑战赛

海狸运算思维挑战赛旨在引起学生对电脑科学的兴趣，竞赛题目趣味性强，与日常活动息息相关，强调计算机科学概念在我们生活当中的作用和重要性。北京中加学校的学子们也参加了这次有意思的竞赛，二十多万名参赛者按照年龄参加不同的组别，用运算思维解决问题;竞赛中鼓励学生积极参与，锻炼用计算机思维解决问题的能力，该能力也是二十一世纪国际公民必要素质之一。

It is a competition aimed at raising awareness of Computer Science in a fun and rewarding way. The competition involves solving problems using computational thinking skills. Over 200,000 students participated in the Challenge. It encourages a greater interest, or aptitude, for computational thinking. The challenge has 6 categories aimed at different age groups with tasks showcasing the best ideas by letting students apply both logical and computational thinking. The tasks demonstrate how integrated and important these concepts are in our daily lives.

竞赛前。。。什么问题?!太难了!!哎呀，我很忙，参加什么竞赛呀?!老师，这个好拿奖吗?不!不!不!我就不参加!竞赛时是这样子的
