Computational Thinking (CT) has been described as a universally applicableability such as reading and writing. In this paper, we describe an innovativepedagogy using Rapid Digital Game Creation (RDGC) for learning CT skills. RDGCinvolves the rapid building of digital games with high-level software thatrequires little or no programming knowledge. We analyze how RDGC supportsvarious CT concepts and how it may be mapped to equivalent Java concepts bybuilding the same game using both RDGC and Java. We discuss the potentialbenefits of this approach for attracting computing majors, as a precursor tolearning formal programming languages, for learning domain knowledge, and forbridging the digital divide. We present the implications of this work forteachers and researchers.
