More specifically, attention is given to computational algorithmic thinking (CAT), particularly among underrepresented K-12 student groups in STEM education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComputational algorithmic thinking (CAT)--a precursor to CT--is 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, the authors reflect on project-based learning experiences, pedagogy, and evaluation that are conducive to developing advanced computational thinking, specifically among diverse student populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis practical text includes vignettes and visual examples to illustrate how coding, computer modeling, robotics, and drones may be used to promote CT and CAT among students in diverse classrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJacqueline Leonard\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Mathematics Education in the School of Education at the University of Wyoming, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJakita O.
