Abstract

Digital environments that encourage and stimulate women's engagement in the area of Information Technology can be an effective solution to face the challenges of gender representation. Therefore, this work aims to present the results of the Systematic Literature Review on a representative digital environment for women in the technological area, applying gamification and UX Design methodologies, in order to promote their inclusion and development. As a result, 8 (eight) studies were classified to answer the research questions and showed that there are still gaps in the creation of digital environments that encourage female participation in technology, combined with gamification and UX Design.
