Currently we observe how the digital gender gap in access, use and training in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is present from the first years of life of boys and girls, being, adolescence, the stage where it affects important future decisions. . In this paper we present the contributions for educational integration in adolescence, generated within the framework of the European project "TIC Go Girls!", aimed at breaking with gender stereotypes in the use of ICTs and making girls capable of take advantage of employment opportunities in the ICT sector. The results show that we have managed to break with stereotypes and promote in girls a deep reflection on their professional future. With the Project we provide a useful methodology so that schools and educational communities have been this initiative in an autonomous way.
