Abstract

The Meninas Digitais Project aims at attracting girls to Computer Science area. This work presents the conduction of a workshop at the LNCC (National Computer Science Laboratory) in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, for two public elementary school classes. After a talk about the project, we conducted a practical experience in a (re) design of Human-Computer Interaction scenario. In this experience, the students would have to understand the customer's need and present possible solutions to the problems presented.
