Feham: A Participatory Design Approach to Foster Computational Thinking

Developing countries like Pakistan lag behind in assimilating computational thinking (CT) into primary school curricula. This gap is more pronounced in low-resource communities. In this work, we follow a participatory design approach to design a computer-based game that leverages contextualization and gamification to impart CT skills to underprivileged primary school children in Pakistan. We divide the game into various role-playing scenarios based on underlying computational concepts.
