Abstract
Computational Thinking (CT) is a fundamental and important skill set in our world and should therefore be taught and practiced in school. In this poster abstract, we present our ongoing initiative on establishing CT as a fundamental and interdisciplinary contribution of Computer Science as a necessary component of general education and describe our aim to enhance the knowledge about it in Switzerland's teacher communities. We give an outline of our planned activities and present first results from a field test in a Swiss high school with an original example of CT-tailored teaching material for the subject of logic.
