Mulheres na informática: estratégias para promover a permanência desse público no curso de Licenciatura em Informática do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Piauí campus Teresina Zona Sul

Abstract

I present an analytical study of the reason for the low enrollment and permanence of female students in the area of computing based on national, international studies and data collected from the student management system (Q-Academic) of the Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí (IFPI). I also propose a way to boost women's participation in the area by creating a support nucleus on the campus of the institute, where through lectures, fun activities and training, they will be encouraged to participate in programming competitions and projects of high technological impact to strengthen the female computing community and support them in enrolling and completing technology courses.
