abstract = {This paper exposes the integration of the recognition of the contribution of women in the history of computer science, and collaborative learning through visual resources, with the aim of promoting gender equality by visualizing this contribution and improving learning outcomes. Through a pedagogical approach that involved students in researching, creating, and presenting infographics about influential women in computing, the study aims to challenge prevailing gender stereotypes while enriching students' understanding of history in this discipline. Results indicate that this method significantly increased student engagement and fostered critical thinking and teamwork skills. Pre- and post-activity surveys revealed a marked improvement in students' recognition of women's contributions to computer science and a positive change in their perception of task difficulty. In addition, participation in this activity correlated with improved academic performance, highlighting in this experience the effectiveness of combining collaborative learning with efforts to promote gender equality in STEM education.},
