Abstract
In "Introduction to Informatics," fundamental informatics concepts are introduced to children through a playful and interactive approach, incorporating practical activities and simplified equipment demonstrations. The course demystifies complex concepts, making knowledge accessible and engaging by exploring software and hardware aspects. Despite time constraints and initial resistance from the school's management, schedule adaptation and the distribution of personalized certificates fostered participant engagement. The course’s success and the challenges faced highlight the importance of improving time management and proactive communication of logistical difficulties.
