I have a MCA (Master of Computer Application) Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham and was with ComputationalThinking-Lab-at-CEN, advised by Professor, Soman KP. My thesis is on SCRATCH FOR INDIAN K-12 EDUCATION, deals with the importance of Computational Thinking. Computational thinking is an essential skill-set for everyone in 21st century. There are many attempts made by K-12 researcher to impart computational thinking into K-12 education. Block-based programming approach is a successfull method and I have worked on developing cloud-based block-based programming languages for Indian schools as well as development of tutorials with documentation in Indian local languages. I have done open source contribution to the scratch community. We have developed many computational thinking tools and published related papers.
