Abstract

In response to the demand for robotics, programming, and computer education in the Antônio Pereira community in Ouro Preto, UFOP and IFMG built Pereira.Lab! between 2020 and 2023. The activities are presented in this work. The Covid-19 pandemic social isolation period was used for planning actions to be implemented in person as soon as possible. In 2022, the first year of in-person operation, workshops targeting specific audiences began. Robotics and computer education were offered to adolescents, while computer literacy targeted adults. In 2023, the focus shifted to students from two public schools: robotics for elementary school and computer literacy for high school students. Lego WeDo 2.0® kits were used for robotics, the Code.org® platform for programming, and the Microsoft Office® suite for computer literacy. As a result, in addition to the educational programs, a laboratory equipped with computers, mobile devices, and robotics kits was delivered to the community.
