In this paper, we report the developments of a Computational Thinking Acquisition project
carried out in pilot Brazilian schools. The project is a branch of a successful, more than a
decade old project in the USA. We present and discuss the factors that led to specific cultural
appropriation and diversification of the North American experience. In particular, we explain

In this paper, we report the developments of a Computational Thinking Acquisition project carried out in pilot Brazilian schools. The project is a branch of a successful, more than a decade old project in the USA. We present and discuss the factors that led to specific cultural appropriation and diversification of the North American experience. In particular, we explain the kind of technology that has been developed in South America compared to the one developed and used in the USA, and propose that the lessons we have learned in the project's short history in Brazil can already seed the reflection of IT and Education researchers.
