Computational thinking- the thought processes involved in formulating a problem and expressing its solution(s) in such a way that a computer—human or machine—can effectively carry out. Computational Thinking is an iterative process based on three stages.

Problem solving process- The process of working through details of a problem to reach a solution. Problem solving may include mathematical or systematic operations and can be a gauge of an individual's critical thinking skills.

Data- facts and statistics collected together for reference or analysis.

Information- facts provided or learned about something or someone.

Algorithm- a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.

Aggregate data- aggregate data are data combined from several measurements. When data are aggregated, groups of observations are replaced with summary statistics based on those observations. In a data warehouse, the use of aggregate data dramatically reduces the time to query large sets of data.

Discovery Data- in the context of IT, is the process of extracting actionable patterns from data. The extraction is generally performed by humans or, in certain cases, by artificial intelligence systems.
