We describe our experience introducing computational thinking skills at teacher colleges through project-based learning (PBL). We have designed projects that use technology to tackle driving questions derived from the national school curriculum, and at the same time are aligned with learning objectives from pre-service teacher training programs. We have carried out a preliminary validation of these projects with teacher educators, who are now incorporating these experiences into their courses with pre-service teachers.
