The Project Young Programming Tutors 2018, coordinated by the initiative Computação na Escola/INCoD/INE/UFSC and realized at the school Escola Básica Almirante Carvalhal, was closed with an event held at the headquarters of the sponsoring company Involves Tecnologia e Inovação.
During the event, Prof. Jean Hauck of the initative Computação na Escola presented the main results achieved by the project:
- Training of Young Tutors and volunteer Mentors

- Training and mentoring of Young Tutors learning how to develop their own apps in order to resolve problems in their community
- Developing an instructional unit specific for app development, by teaching, in addition to computing, concepts of design thinking and UX/UI design
The Young Tutors presented the apps they developed during the project:
