(Lightning Learning, Early Years, 30 minutes)

Children love to play outside in the natural environment. By utilizing the natural inclinations of young children to explore and by encouraging problem-solving skills, educators can move students’ thinking forward. It’s even easier than you might think to invite your youngest learners to join you as inventors and problem-solvers and jump into the world of computational thinking while playing outside and interacting with the world around them! These skills are at the heart of learning, helping children develop creativity, collaboration, communication, persistence, and problem-solving.
