Programming is being incorporated into educational spaces through different resolutions. One of the perspectives of this incorporation is by means of a transversal relationship with other curricular spaces and in this context Computational Thinking acquires relevance. In this work we present an investigation that adopted the methodology known as design studies where a didactic sequence was planned for the learning of Genetic Engineering in high schools, which is included in the 5th year programme with an orientation in Natural Sciences. This end, different problematic situations were proposed to students where they had to build Genetic Engineering models using Scratch. The main results show that the use of Scratch as the first programming language allows students to approach Computational Thinking while developing scientific practices such as modeling.
