The interest in children learning to code has grown exponentially recently. In recent years, we have tried effective ways to bring programming to the classrooms of Primary and Early Childhood Education.

In this talk, the experiences carried out to bring programming closer to these levels are explained: proposed methodologies, applications and programs used and developed, different approaches, different types of interaction and results obtained in both stages, as well as some experiences to support the introduction of programming in Secondary Education and future work.

In Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Education, results are presented in which significant improvements are observed using different approaches and ways of interaction, which depend on factors such as age.
