Abstract

This work addressed the importance of teaching programming in Elementary School, highlighting how this practice prepares students for the demands of the digital world. The general objective was to discuss the relevance of early introduction to programming in schools, preparing students for a technological future. A literature review methodology was used, analyzing successful studies and experiences related to teaching programming to children. The results pointed to the significant development of critical, logical, problem-solving and creativity skills in students, in addition to a positive impact on academic performance in various subjects. It was also observed that teaching programming equips students with essential skills for the job market and everyday life in the 21st century. Final considerations highlighted the need to overcome challenges such as teacher training, infrastructure and access, promoting inclusion and diversity. It is concluded that the integration of programming teaching into the fundamental curriculum is vital to prepare young people for future challenges, requiring joint efforts for its effective implementation.
