Resumen

Despite the fact that most of the students in Spanish campuses are women, their presence in Computer Science degrees is minimal and their entry rate hasbeen diminishing in recent years. Moreover, this is notan isolated fact and it can be considered as a globalphenomenon. Among the causes for the low intereston Computer Science shown by young women, alongside persistent unattractive stereotypes regarding theICT field, we highlight the unawareness of the ICTprofession and the lack of women as ICT models intoday’s society. For these reasons, the Faculty of Computer Science of the University of A Coruña, in colla-boration with other institutions and associations, hasorganized WikinformáticA. This initiative is based oncollaborative learning, the use of simple online tools,and the motivation through the organization of a competition, with the goal of involving secondary schoolsin the promotion of the Computer Science studies andthe role of women in ICT.
