ABSTRACT
The presence of women in learning spaces in courses in the exact
sciences area remains low, a fact that needs to be changed through
actions that enable greater gender diversity in the area. The UERGS
computing course has approximately 20% female students upon
admission, which is considered low. Changing this statistic requires
actions to be taken with female students during basic education, to
spark interest in the area. In order to present the area of exact
sciences to girls from basic education schools, which are close to
UERGS, there is the Project Include Gurias that has been
developing actions such as workshops and scientific dissemination
exclusively for girls from schools in the region, presenting the area
of exact sciences and seeking to encourage more girls to become
interested in computing. In this work, we sought to develop
teaching material to support the scientific dissemination of women
in exact sciences, with easy access and via smartphone, meaning
that anyone with a cell phone could have access to the interactive
content. Therefore, a ChatBot was developed, which is called
ChatBot Include Gurias, which provides a real-time conversation,
whose theme is women scientists in the field of exact sciences.
