Programação Criativa e Colaborativa no Ensino Médio: uma Experiência com Studio Sketchpad

The development of programming skills in basic education has been the target of many initiatives, usually supported by consolidated computer tools specially designed for this public. In this work, we explore a lesser known resource in this medium, called Studio Sketchpad, which uses textual programming based on the Javascript language. Among its main characteristics are the ease of expressing creations with visual appeal and the possibility of creating programs collaboratively. We used Studio Sketchpad in workshops offered to a group of high school students, revealing strengths and limitations that can contribute to the replication of experience in similar contexts.
