Abstract

This paper presents a case study of the Technovation Challenge, an international project that aims to raise the interest of girls in areas related to technology, in order to explore how the initiatives promoted by the project contribute to increase the female presence in these areas, which are predominantly male. Questionnaires were applied to project participants in 2017 and from these qualitative and quantitative analyzes were carried out to verify the contributions of the project.
