AB Computational thinking and coding are key competencies in the 21st century. Peoplewith Down syndrome need to be part of this new literacy. For this reason, in this work, we presentan exploratory study carried out with students with Down syndrome with cognitive ages of 3–6years old using a tangible robot We applied the observational method during the sessions to analyzethe participants’ emotional states, engagement, and comprehension of the programming sequences.Results show that people with cognitive disabilities can acquire basic programming and computationalskills using tangible robots such as KIBO.
