Abstract

Nowadays, with the increase of technology, it is important to adapt children and their education to this development. This article proposes programming blocks for young students to learn concepts related to math and technology in an easy and funny way, using a Web Application and a robot.

The students can build a puzzle, with tangible tiles, giving instructions for the robot execute. Then, it is possible to take a photograph of the puzzle and upload it on the application. This photograph is processed and converted in executable code for the robot that can be simulated in the app by the virtual robot or performed in the real robot.
