Promoter – National Association of IT Teachers
Action – Project “Ciência da Computação”
Description – “Ciência da Computação” includes the areas of Computational Thinking, Programming, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual and Augmented Reality.
Computational thinking and programming are implemented together, and can also be articulated with a third dimension among the following options: Robotics, Virtual and Augmented Reality or Artificial Intelligence.
Participation in the Computer Science Project implies that IT teachers propose it in their schools, to be integrated as a School Offer, Complement to Artistic Education, Workshop, Club or other initiative created within the scope of Schools’ Flexibility and Autonomy.
Schools in mainland Portugal and in the Autonomous Regions of Madeira and the Azores can join.
Goals:
- To apply principles and concepts of Computer Science in the development of activities for students;
- To implement, through the problem solving methodology, a set of strategies aimed at finding problem solutions;
- To explore the concepts of computational thinking and programming through problem identification and decomposition;
- To explore programming structural components (variables, decision and repetition structures, etc.) that respond to the needs of problems and projects to be developed with students, available in the programming environment, in the learning support tool;
- To implement a logical sequence to solve the problem, based on the fundamentals associated with programming logic and using programming structural components;
- To create problem-based learning scenarios that integrate computational thinking, programming, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence;
- To integrate content (text, image, sound and video) based on problems to be solved that stimulate students’ creativity in creating products (games, animations, interactive stories, simulations, etc.);
- To analyze and reflect on the solution found and its applicability and, if necessary, reformulate the logical sequence for problem solving;
- To share the developed learning scenarios.

WILD CODE SCHOOL
Promoter – Wild Code School
Action – Wild Code School
Description –Our human capacity to learn new concepts allows us to contribute to a more developed community and society without ever losing our individuality.
In a constantly evolving world where digitalization is constantly accelerating every day, we have the key to developing our skills that allow us to adapt to any process or job.
Our pedagogy turns you into the main actor in our learning process and not a passive student. We follow your development and do our best for it to be even greater and always continuous. In the end you will be autonomous in your study and will know how to keep doing it for the rest of your career!
Learning to learn – the key to not being left behind in this digitization era!
The school offers intensive Full-stack Web Developer and Data Analyst courses, with an intensive 5-month training, on campus or at a distance. All students are motivated to take advantage of their full potential, within a dynamic and compact schedule.
At the end of the training, students will have a set of tools that will allow them to understand how to manage and deal with clients’ projects, in the current context.
Wild Code School is 100% professional and students can, and are, for the most part, hired directly after finishing the course, being ready for the job market.
