This is a Program involving actions and projects aimed at encouraging the participation of women in Science and Technology in the Amazon region. This program includes activities such as lectures at scientific meetings, training students to participate in competitions and develop computer applications. These actions resulted in highlights obtained in programming contests and prizes obtained through application development, and have provided a more conducive academic environment to discuss issues related to the female gender in the science and technology fields. The next steps are also intended to include primary and secondary schools so that women feel motivated to choose their career regardless of social prejudices.
