A series of handmade booklets that explore computational thinking through paper manipulations. The collection designed for the gallery is interactive, engaging, elegant, witty, and contemplative.

Computational thinking can be considered a collection of thought processes one utilizes when problem-solving. Although these processes may have foundations in computer science, their applications transcend the digital environment. It is a way that humans, not computers, think. In an ever-changing world of ubiquitous technologies, complex problems are arising and demanding creative solutions. From infancy onward, anyone of any age can learn and practice computational thinking. Therefore, a shared paradigm is necessary.
