Abstract

Computing education often focuses on future specialists, yet digital transformation benefits from wider participation. If students in business, social sciences, or the arts also need to engage with computational practices, higher education should offer accessible entry points. This project proposes one: a pedagogical low-code pathway that frames application building as an inclusive route into computational thinking, design practice, and innovation.
