About this content
In Brazil, only 29.8% of game developers are women [Fortim 2022]. To promote greater inclusion and encourage female participation in this field, this article presents an experience report from an introductory game development workshop for girls in the Mermãs Digitais extension project, using the Godot game engine and GDScript programming. The results pointed to positive interaction among the students and an awareness of their creative role in producing their own work. As a result, the workshop proved to be an important initiative for the inclusion of women in game development.
