AB During the last decades the presence of women in the area of Computer Science hasdecreased in most countries. In the last years, at the Facultad de Ingeniería (School ofEngineering), Universidad de la República, Uruguay, we have carried out several activitieswith the goal of bringing girls closer to Computer Science area, on the occasion of Girls inICT Day. Through these activities, we intend to eliminate certain preconceived ideas andnegative stereotypes that promote girls’ distancing from careers of this area. This paperpresents the experience of the three virtual workshops carried out during 2021 (in virtualmodality, due to the COVID-19 pandemic), which focused on programming, data, andgeographic information systems, and the analysis of a set of virtual platforms consideredfor each workshop.
