• This paper presents a demonstration of a project for teaching robotics in secondary schools regarding the emerging concept of so-called thinking (Computational thinking), which is supported by the PRIM project (Support for the Development of Computational Thinking). The PRIM project aims to support a change in the orientation of the school subject of informatics from user control of ICT towards the basics of informatics as a field. In the light of the ongoing Industry 4.0 revolution, the rapidly growing need for both IT professionals and general education in the field of informatics is perceived. The project responds to similar activities in several developed countries, where computational thinking comes to the forefront of the attention of schools and creators of the national curriculum. As part of the project, a set of textbooks covering the teaching of programming across all levels of educational institutions in the Czech Republic was created. This concept also created textbooks for teaching the basics of robotics, using the Micro: Bit and Arduino platforms. The paper presents a sample of projects that try to meet the emerging concept and copy the tested structure of teaching materials.
