Abstract

This paper describes the experiences lived during the execution of the university outreach project “Women scientists in the fight against COVID-19”, linked to the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), in Paraiba, and developed remotely in a public school. To achieve this purpose, five rounds of dialogue were held, problematizing the role of women in science through their contributions to the fight against the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus. These activities were carried out between August and December 2020 with students from the 9th grade of elementary school, and those from the 1st to the 3rd grade of high school, with participation of about forty students. An online questionnaire was applied at the end of the project and the result demonstrated the students’ satisfactory participation, in addition to highlighting that the women’s role in science needs to be further discussed in basic education.
