France has always had a complex relationship with informatics. At the primary school level, current official instructions demand that students develop a list of competences in ICT, without any indication about a necessary conceptualization. Is the instrumental mastery of ICT feasible at this level without any specific concept? We consider that it is the responsibility of compulsory education to transmit to everybody the lineaments of an informatics culture. What is at stake is to help students acquire a certain level of understanding and a technicity allowing them to later move forward and become autonomous and creative. DALIE is a small pilot project that also has as a goal to produce a white paper about the place and nature of an informatics curriculum at the primary school level, elements of curricula for teachers education.
