Abstract
The last years have been highlighted by computer science evolution that has created new learning and teaching opportunities. Nowadays children, called digital natives, have a significant will to deal with technology and feel fascinated by it. This paper presents an online platform based on serious games, which intends to enhance the interest of these children, leading them into learning while they are able to play through the promotion of an Information and Communication Technology subject based on the Portuguese National Educational Program. We believe that with this platform we will contribute to a change in our present educational program into a more attractive and motivating program for students, challenging them through the quiz “Quern Quer Ser Informático?”.
