Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the importance of computational thinking and how to include techniques to teach this kind of ability in schools in Brazil. First, we discuss what Computational Thinking is and the importance of teaching such skill in school. Then, we list some of the challenges that are involved in introducing this discipline in school curricula.Keywords
