Abstract

Considering the importance of motivation for Exact Sciences learning and the computeras a pedagogical tool, it was designed the project “Playing with Science”, with theaim to have the contact and non-formal subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, andComputing and developing skills like systematic analysis of problems and logical reasoning.Also it was developed the course “Informatics for Digital Inclusion” with thegoal of computer learning by people with little or no contact with computers, througha critical teaching and working Informatics’ needs and problems in their universe. Bothprojects were implemented in the Science and Technology Park of USP (Cientec), andit is possible to do them in other environments in an itinerant way. The activities presentedwere a valid experience of university extension in order to the participant to have a contact with science in a fun and interactive way as well as digital and social inclusion.
