Abstract
This study aims to investigate the characteristics, concepts, types, and strategies of unplugged coding for young children based on computing thinking. The key to unplugged coding for young children is computing thinking. Unplugged coding based on computing thinking for young children can be used to solve problems that can be encountered in everyday life through playing games based on logical thinking by positively utilizing algorithm boards, s-blocks, coding robots, and smart devices without using programs And find new ways to play. Types of unplugged coding for young children include direct input to smart devices, using coding robots with dedicated apps, practicing coding procedures using algorithms, and using hybrid methods. Strategies include understanding algorithms, drawing flowcharts, dividing into smaller parts, finding patterns, inserting, and predicting outcomes.
