This study presents the results of an intervention aimed at developing computational thinking (CT) skills in 39 university students from various academic disciplines. A descriptive quantitative methodology with a correlational design was employed to strengthen cohesion and interdisciplinarity in problem-solving. The level of CT was measured based on eight elements. The evaluation instrument consisted of a series of questions and exercises that students completed after finishing the workshop titled Technologies for All (TPT). The results show a positive correlation across disciplines, with computer science students demonstrating the greatest ease in developing this skill. It is concluded that CT is an essential competency for interdisciplinary learning, highlighting the importance of cooperative learning in achieving meaningful learning outcomes.

Keywords : computational thinking; interdisciplinary learning; digital skills; higher education.
