Glossary Entry: Abstraction (Computational Thinking). Go Back to Glossary. Abstraction (Computational Thinking). Creation of a model of a system or problem which leaves out any unnecessary parts.…
Abstraction: a model of a system which leaves out unnecessary parts. Patterns: using reusable components to minimize error and work. Algorithms: a series of unambiguous instructions to process data, make decisions and/or solve problems.…
A mindset that allows machines and humans to work together to solve real-world problems, using Decomposition, Abstraction, Patterns, Algorithms, and Programs.…
"Model" can also refer to non-algorithmic information (an 'abstraction') used by data scientists to understand the subject matter.…
Learn. from experiments and use them to update the model (abstraction) of the problem and related systems. Act. on the results, starting first by sharing results with others in the team and organization.…
Learn from your experiments and use them to update your model (abstraction) of the problem and related systems. Example. Food Carts. Portland, Oregon in the United States is famous for having a lot of food carts.…

However, if they are mathematical abstractions of human values (like trust, for example), the developers creating them can unconsciously incorporate their own biases.…
