Abstract
LCSMAR is a Learning Resource that takes advantage of Augmented Reality in order to promote the development of Computational Thinking among students who are starting to dive in to the world of computer programming. Students can write code in a imperative programming language and, with the help of their mobile phone, they can visualize and analyze the execution of the code they developed, seeing how variable and data structures change over time with each instruction. Augmented Reality tools allow the visualization of abstract concepts that are often misunderstood and that cause misconception among students, which in term should help students develop the abilities to understand and use these abstract concepts, such as data structures, in other areas of application.
