This document discusses a collaborative 6th grade robotics program that used LEGO Mindstorms to teach computational thinking. Students worked together on building and programming robots. Their journals showed that making their thinking visible through building and programming helped them learn computational thinking concepts. The program aims to make both individual and collaborative thinking more visible to improve computational thinking education.
