Indissociabilidade entre ensino e extensão através de um projeto para divulgação da Tecnologia da Informação na periferia

Abstract

This paper presents a project that is situated at the intersection between education and extension. The project applied a unique perspective based on the hypothesis that educational materials about programming created for freshman students can be adapted to promote awareness about Information Technology courses. Given that, a methodology was developed using concepts of Computer Science, Education and Design to adapt existing materials, such as code samples, and create new materials, such as a book. The empirical results showed that more than 250 freshman students and 1300 individuals outside the Campus were impacted, which can be interpreted as evidence that our hypothesis appears to be true.
