When people talk about the future, we think of robots, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and self-driving cars. These advanced technologies might seem distant, daunting, or even dystopian — but they will almost certainly become part of our lives in some way or another, whether you’ll be one of the brilliant minds programming them, or simply a member of a society in which their influence and power is unavoidable.
But you can, and should, prepare for this future now. Computational thinking is an increasingly important discipline of study, and is already a part of the NSW curriculum as part of the vital thinking skills required for future academic and career success. And there’s no better way to pique your child’s interest, test their ability and get them started than the Computational and Algorithmic Thinking (CAT) Competition, run by the Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT) and hosted by North Shore Coaching College.
