Public authorities attempt to address this disequilibrium with the introduction of programming into the curriculum for elementary and secondary schools.

Among the different dimensions in a curricula, our research is interested in the educators. Our investigation is based on the “Girls who code”, an educational device to foster the practice of programming. Our methodology is based on semi structured interviews which were conducted with female students who teach in these classes and with teacher who are in charge of those classes. We supplemented the interviews with observations led in some classes. Our results highlight how the educational device is appropriate by the actors in order to fulfill some professional goals.
