Abstract

The statistics indicate that women represent approximately 14% of the students who start an undergraduate degree program in Computing in Brazil. Many projects have performed workshops to high school students, aiming to attract more women to these programs. However, most of the studies found on these workshops do not bring enough information to allow their replication. This paper presents in detail the planning and execution of a 3-hour workshop focused on high School students, besides supplying all the material used.

Keywords: Workshop, Girls, High School
