The low number of women in Computing courses is a problem addressed worldwide. However, local initiatives are needed that require the participation of the community of interest. In this context, this article reports a project that aims to apply different strategies to motivate and teach programming logic to and by women. The methodology includes three processes: research (understanding factors that discourage girls from computing), dissemination, motivation and teaching programming logic in courses for women. In this paper, the actions in progress are presented, that aim to contribute to the increase of the number of women in the course, as well as their first results.
