【About Artificial Intelligence and Computational Thinking Division】
Advances in information technology have profoundly transformed contemporary society, shaping the way people live, learn, and work. From smartphones and the Internet to rapidly evolving technologies such as generative artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain, technological applications have expanded across science, business, the humanities, and a wide range of professional fields, continuously driving innovation and change. In an era when artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent, equipping students with an understanding of the fundamental principles of AI, computational thinking skills, the ability to collaborate with AI, and the capacity to use AI tools responsibly to solve problems has become an important priority in higher education.
In response to technological advancements and the growing demand for talent development, National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) established the Logic and Programming Education Division under the University General Education Committee in 2017. The Division developed the CT+X (Computational Thinking + X) series of general education courses to help students develop logical reasoning, information technology, and interdisciplinary application skills. Since launching the course Computational Thinking and Programming in the first semester of the 2017–2018 academic year, the Division has continued to promote computational thinking education across the university while progressively expanding learning opportunities in programming and interdisciplinary applications.
In response to the rapid advancement of AI technologies and the university-wide demand for AI talent development, the Division further refined its educational direction in 2026 and officially changed its name to the Artificial Intelligence and Computational Thinking Division, abbreviated as the AICT Division. Building on computational thinking, the Division will integrate AI literacy, AI tool applications, foundational AI development, and interdisciplinary hands-on learning. It aims to help students understand the capabilities and limitations of AI, use AI responsibly, collaborate effectively with AI, and apply AI to problem-solving. The Division will also progressively develop a diverse range of AI+X courses tailored to different academic disciplines and learning needs, enabling students to integrate AI into their disciplinary studies and everyday lives while cultivating the core competencies needed to meet future challenges.
