Abstract
This article describes the experience in teaching the introduction to programming to students of the Professional School of Medicine of the National University of Saint Augustine using playful tools such as Scratch, Lightbot and App Inventor, which have allowed the understanding of the basic concepts of programming in an easy and entertaining way, motivating the learning process of the students. The use of visual programming tools allowed the students to create their own games and creative applications related to their professional career, strengthening the resolution of problems and favoring their active learning.
