The teaching of applications programming is a complex activity by various factors ranging from teaching following traditional schemes to the need to memorize specific aspects of programming languages. Currently there is an approach known as Physical Computing to facilitate the learning of concepts related to computer sciences and the applications programming in an innovative way focusing on the creativity of the products generated. This research shows the results of the implementation of Physical Computing for teaching the fundamentals of applications programming through a seminar applied using the BBC Micro: Bit pocket-sized computer.
