Robotito is an educational robot developed in Uruguay to stimulate the development of computational thinking in young children. We conducted an exploratory study to detect difficulties that emerge during the first approximation of preschool children to Robotito (Study 1). Based on the lessons learned, we implemented improvements in robot design and the structure of the introductory activities with Robotito and conducted a pilot study (Study 2) to evaluate them. This poster presents observed programming errors, lessons learned, and future works.
