EcoLogic: um jogo de estratégia para o desenvolvimento do pensamento computacional e da consciência ambiental

Abstract

This article deals with the proposal of an educational game, which aims to develop Computational Thinking by understanding and caring for the environment in which one lives, in order to generate environmental and ecological awareness. EcoLogic is a digital puzzle and strategy game, whose mission is to explore the environment by solving logical problems. The theme addressed is sustainability through selective garbage collection. It is anchored in the four pillars of Computational Thinking and uses Constructionism as the principle of action. The game was developed for children from 8 years of age, with application recommended for use in schools, as a pedagogical support, as an entertainment tool for children, youth and adults.
