As a result of the Young Programming Tutors 2018 , students of the 8th and 9th years of Almirante Carvalhal Elementary School have learned to develop mobile applications with App Inventor, applying concepts of Design Thinking , interface/UX design and programming.

Assisted by professors and researchers of the Computação na Escola and with support of professional volunteers of the company Involves Tecnologia , the Young Tutors developed their own apps, seeking to solve problems in their local community. In addition to learning computer concepts by programming apps, Young Tutors have also developed important 21st century skills such as creativity and innovation, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
