Abstract

This article presents the application of storytelling through videos for introducing computing concepts at an NGO in the interior of Paraná. Aligned with the computing supplement of the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the proposed activities aim to be an introductory step to essential learning in computing, which should be ensured for children in various contexts. The study highlights how the narrative approach can assist in the educational engagement of children, promoting inclusion and diversity in non-formal education.
