In this hands-on unit you will learn and apply computational thinking – the art of formulating problems in such a way that a machine can solve them for you. Each week you will tackle a range of real world and interdisciplinary challenges using simple coding resources and techniques. You will also work collaboratively to evaluate and critique the use and application of coding techniques in different disciplines to understand their societal implications. At the end of the unit, you will be able to apply these skills and knowledge to your own discipline to better prepare you for our increasingly technology-driven world. You will understand how coding works, and you will know how to critique different approaches.","title-full":"QUT008 QUT You: Think Like a Computer and Change the World","title-short":"QUT You: Think Like a Computer and Change the World","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=QUT008&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=QUT008","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=QUT008"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
