In this workbook, BSD introduces DeCoDe: a powerful framework that combines Design (DT) and Computational Thinking (CT) to solve complex problems:

• Step 1 – Start with DT’s first three phases.
• Step 2 – Switch to the CT process.
• Step 3 – Complete the CT process to solve the problem.
• Step 4 – Pick up the DT process where your algorithm becomes your testable prototype.

We call this process DeCoDe because we insert Computational Thinking between Design Thinking. This method is a way of decoding a problem, to break it down, decipher it, and find a useful solution.
