| Summary: | Computational thinking, widely disseminated and used in several works in the literature, has been considered as one of the fundamental skills of the human intellect, as well as reading, writing and arithmetic. This article describes the development and application of an educational tool entitled “Plugged-in” to stimulate concepts of Computational Thinking. To evaluate the tool an exploratory case study was conducted in a public school with elementary school students, through an educational workshop. The analysis of the data collected through interviews, questionnaires and direct observation, indicates that the tool stimulated the concepts of Computational Thinking: abstraction, algorithms and procedures, decomposition and simulation. |
