Computational thinking is a fundamental thinking skill for students in the 21st-century learning era. This study aims to integrate computational thinking skills in physics through project-based learning. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and portfolio documents. The results indicated three main categories of computational thinking: decomposition, abstraction, and simulation. The implementation of project-based learning can develop students’ computational thinking skills. Students are trained to solve physics problems analytically and precisely in structured and logical thinking through a project. This research is expected to be the information for physics teachers to integrate computational thinking in the classroom as a 21st-century learning skill.
