Computational Thinking

Also known as: Algorithmic Thinking

A problem-solving approach that involves breaking complex problems into smaller steps, identifying patterns, abstracting details, and designing step-by-step solutions—similar to how a computer processes instructions. In the context of smart home accessibility, computational thinking is required when users create automations and routines, essentially writing pseudocode to define triggers, conditions, and actions. This requirement can be a barrier for users without technical backgrounds.
