TECHNOLOGY
AND DIGITAL INCLUSION
In the knowledge society, where technology plays
an essential role, digital inclusion is key to social and
economic inclusion.
MIT App Inventor
Based on a partnership with MIT (Massachusetts
Institute of Technology) in 2020, we implemented
an educational path to disseminate programming
knowledge among socially vulnerable young people
in the country. Students from the American institution
came to Brazil and, with the support of teachers from
the C6 Institute, taught more than 60 people (mostly
teachers from public schools or NGOs) how to develop
apps using the MIT App Inventor (a tool that allows
those without programming knowledge to build apps).
In 2021, already independently, we translated and
adapted the content for the Brazilian context. The
training became our own and is now part of the C6
Bank course shelf. Held entirely remotely, in an online
format, the course was conducted by a Brazilian
professor, a master trainer at MIT.
In its new version, the program was directly aimed
at young people aged 14 to 21 assisted by social
ajustar protyal Rosco
institutions in São Paulo. Its content included nine
live classes and daily knowledge pills.
In addition to learning how to use MIT App Inventor,
the young people acquired knowledge in design
thinking, a technique that helps in developing the
idea behind the app and in solving problems. C6
