In view of the importance of teaching computer concepts in basic
education and a linguistic barrier between deaf and hearing people,
this work presents the development of an educational game, cal-
led Barco Binário, which helps in learning the logic of converting
binary numbers in a playful way and associated with the intro-
duction of numerals in Brazilian Sign Language for hearing. The
evaluation of the tests applied to expert users indicated that 87,5%
of the interviewees understood, partially or totally, the process
of binary conversion and about 75% of the evaluators stated that
they managed to relate the numbers with their respective signs in
Brazilian Sign Language after using the game.
