This work describes a university extension course for continuing training of teachers on use of the Construct 2® platform, aiming at the creation of virtual games to support the teaching and learning of Science in Elementary and High School. The course was carried out via Google Meet and the teachers created electronic games on topics such as History of Chemistry, Nuclear Physics and Nutrition, thus experiencing the design and development of an alternative teaching methodology, as well as its application in classroom, on the road to a playful approach and a meaningful learning of Science-related contents. Teachers have been trained to make up their own technological teaching material, expanding their understanding on promising applications of electronic games in Education, as well as resignifying their pedagogical practices. Thus, results from this work reinforce the importance of university extension for the continuing training of teachers working in Basic Education.
