This article aims to analyze the integration of software Scratch to promote the development of computational thinking at higher education. For such, the contents of Domestic Economy and Financial Education were explored as scenario at the instruction of Computation basic concepts, being them algorithms, speech and programming architecture tied to the resolution of daily problems, allowing the citizen's formation. The theoretical referential is articulated with Information and Communication Digital Technologies (ICDT) at Education and Computational Thinking concepts, apart from specific contents from Domestic Economy and Financial Education area. The investigation is of qualitative nature and was made at the Economics and Civil Engineering courses in an University of the South of Bahia in 2017. The methodology used the exploratory study techniques, empiric study and development study with the intent of elaborating activities contextualized in the software Scratch that involve Domestic Economy and Financial Education themes. On that base, it was highlighted the artefacts construction using the programming speech of Scratch and the ICDT, providing the learning of computational concepts and the dissemination of the computational thinking concept at the higher education courses.
