Abstract


This work rised at PIBID Computação at UFRPE from its performance at the Porto Digital State Technical School (ETEPD), where learning problems of high school students in subjects such as Physics and Chemistry were identified. Based on that, actions were devised to support these difficulties by exploring the interdisciplinary nature of computational thinking and using simulators and robotic artifacts in these practices.

Keywords: Computational Thinking, Interdisciplinarity, Robotics
