The advancement and development of new technologies requires teachers to introduce new teaching resources into the educational process of teaching Informatics and Computing. By introducing mBot in teaching in a creative and interesting way, students' motivation to develop and acquire digital and computer literacy has increased. The work shows mBot as a new, innovative tool that introduces students to the world of programming in a simple way. The results of the empirical research among the students of the seventh and eighth grade confirmed the premise of increasing motivation, as well as the development of the interest and curiosity of students in the field of information and computing. The students also showed great interest in participating in competitions and projects.
