SUMMARY:
The present study aims to develop, implement, and evaluate the Talento Metrópole Kids Program,
targeting children aged seven to ten with high abilities, affiliated with the Instituto Metrópole Digital
(IMD) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The program expands its actions to
include not only teenagers but also children, emphasizing the importance of inclusive education and
early-preventive interventions. The research seeks to advance scientific knowledge of high abilities,
considering the complexity of human development, the interaction between biological and cultural
factors, and the need for inclusive and effective pedagogical practices and public policies. It proposes
an intervention and stimulation program for schoolchildren with high abilities, focusing on talent
development. The relevance of considering culture and social context in identifying and developing
talent in children with high abilities is highlighted, enriching discussions on educational policies and
pedagogical interventions in this area. The research adopts a qualitative methodological approach and
is based on the historical-cultural perspective of Psychology. Data were analyzed statistically and
thematically to understand the evolution of high abilities conception over time and support program
interventions. The heterogeneity of the participant group in terms of academic background and
professions was identified, demonstrating a variety of experiences and knowledge. Potentials and
limitations of the program were identified, contributing to reflections on the effectiveness of
interventions and educational policies for children with high abilities. The Talento Kids Program
encompasses children aged 6 to 10, aiming to present distinct areas of human production. Linked to
the Talento Metrópole, the program contributes to identifying and developing talent in the information
technology field, aligned with goals of digital and technological transformation in Rio Grande do
Norte. The program adopts a holistic approach, focusing on development, social interaction, mediated
support, cultural context, and metacognitive, creative, and critical skills. The aim is to stimulate the
integral development of children's potentials with high abilities, directing their talents for the benefit of
society. The study is justified by the need to improve educational policies and pedagogical practices tomeet the needs of children with high abilities, considering criteria for identification, care, and adequate
development. Results show that children with high abilities have specific needs requiring interventions
and challenging environments to avoid underutilization of their potential. The Talento Metrópole Kids
program is viable and necessary, contributing to equity, inclusion, and academic and emotional
development of these children. Future research should explore new strategies to support the growth of
these students and prepare them for future challenges, contributing to a fairer and more developed
society.
