Teaching Computational Thinking and Introduction to Programming through Robotics amid the Covid-19 Pandemic - An Experience Report

Nowadays, the skills present in computer programming are important in several fields of work. Computational thinking, the ability to create algorithms for solving problems and logical reasoning are some of the skills developed when someone learn to program. This paper presents an experience report of an extension project that aimed to teach computational thinking and introduction to programming with robotics support for children at school in person, but which had to be adapted for remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The original planning, adaptations for remote learning, and the application and evaluation of the course will be reported.
