ABSTRACT
This study reports the actions of an extension project that applied
Computational Thinking and robotics concepts in a municipal
elementary school. The project, aligned with the Common
National Curriculum Base (BNCC), aimed to foster logical
reasoning through practical and playful activities. Unplugged
methodologies were employed, including translating binary
numbers, simulating classification networks, and exploring a
computer maze. These activities introduced students to the core
principles of computational thinking, focusing on algorithmic
thinking, task decomposition, and problem-solving. The results
demonstrated the project's effectiveness, as students engaged
actively and developed essential cognitive skills. This experience
highlights the value of incorporating computational thinking into
early basic education through playful and adaptable teaching
approaches tailored to diverse school contexts.
O Computer on the Beach é um evento técnico-científico que visa reunir profissionais, pesquisadores e acadêmicos da área de Computação, a fim de discutir as tendências de pesquisa e mercado da computação em suas mais diversas áreas.
