Successful examples are highlighted of educational establishments that have embraced digital literacy, working with programming logic through the use of digital teaching materials. The methodology is based on bibliographical research, with a qualitative approach and an exploratory objective. As a result, this work proposes an uncomplicated and objective system for introducing programming languages into basic education, demonstrating that high and expensive financial resources are not necessary for technological literacy to take place.
