Abstract


The number of women in careers and courses in the areas of Computing and Technologies is lower to the number of men. To encourage women to take courses in the field of technology, several extension projects have been carried out. In this context, this paper reports the results of the application of an event in which teaching activities involving computing concepts were carried out. The activities and the prepared material were chosen and adapted by students of the computer science course at the Federal University of Maranhão in order to encourage high school students. As a result of this experience, it was possible to collect opinions about the process of creating the contest by undergraduate students and the evaluation of the contest by high school students.
