N2 - In today's world, students have to analyze and solve problems creatively, collaborate with teammates, communicate clearly, adapt rapidly to new technologies, and deal with a flood of information. This forces education systems to adopt new teaching methods and tools. Many are already adopting the required changes, but there is still a long way to go. In 2017, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, together with the Center for Educational Technologies (CET), joined forces to address this challenge and created Plethora, an online game-like environment, which helps improve complex problem-solving through algorithmic thinking skills. The authors are part of this endeavor and its implementation.
