Thus, in order to mitigate this problem, this work carried out an intervention with the students of the 2nd year of the technical course in Network of the Federal Institute of Alagoas (IFAL) and showed the importance of using the concept of Cellular Automata (CA) in the interdisciplinarity of content involving mathematics. In this circumstance, this work also presented the students with a CA simulator, the AutomatoLab, which made it possible for them to perform tests in the simulator and respond to a qualitative survey about the tool and the use of CAs. The research result showed that most students believe that prior knowledge about CAs is necessary to use this type of technology, but that this type of Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) can help some students to become interested in the subject addressedptAutômato CelularEnsinoDiscentesCellular AutomataEducationStudentsTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS HUMANAS
