Historically, women have been excluded, underestimated, or obliterated in science. This influences the perception that children and teenagers have of this field and its professionals, resulting in a low participation of women in certain scientific careers. As a means of transforming this reality, there are non-formal education initiatives aimed at promoting gender equality in science. This study examined publications on these non-formal education projects and analyzed the strategies they employ, drawing on the theory of cultural satisfaction by Georges Snyders and gender studies by bell hooks and Londa Schiebinger. This paper also offers reflections on aspects that stood out during the analysis, which could contribute to a better understanding of the potential and needs of this type of initiative. There is a predominance of activities that emphasize female representation in science, undergraduate research, the use of cultural products, and collaborative work.
