A Designer designed the course presented in this extended abstract. Thus, the approach to learning math and programming concepts is through the lens of the design discipline. This is reflected for instance in the iterative design of the algorithms and visualizations, or in having students share their results with someone else to receive constructive critique before going back to the drawing board for a new iteration. Through a design-driven approach students were able to learn some basic principles of CT, hopefully paving the way for formal programming learning in the future. The case presented in this abstract depicts an exploratory study with a small sample of students, nonetheless, the experience was enlightening and served as motivation to keep exploring the interstitial space between design literacy, computational thinking, and digital literacy.
