– In this work we proposed the development of an alternative\uddevice as a motivating element to learn computer science and robotics\udusing the Raspberry PI and Arduino boards. The connections of all\udhardware used to build the device called Betabot are presented and are\udalso reported the technologies used for programming the Betabot. An\udenvironment for writing programs to run at Betabot was developed. With\udthis environment it is possible to write programs in the Python\udprogramming language, using libraries with functions specific to the\uddevice. With the Betabot using a webcam and through image processing\udsearch for patterns like faces, circles, squares and colors. The device also\udhas functions to move servos and motors, and capture values returned by\udsome kinds of sensors connected to communication ports. From this\udwork, it was possible to develop a device that is easy to be manipulated\udand programmed, which can be used to support the teaching of computer\udscience and robotics.\ud\u
