Resumo
Resumo: Este artigo relata uma experiência de inclusão digital (ID) do Programa de Extensão Onda Digital com 40 jovens carentes. O curso de Informática Básica de 36 horas fez parte do programa educacional da ONG Eletrocooperativa. Este programa visa a formação musical, melhoria das condições de trabalho e de cidadania de jovens afro-descendentes brasileiros. A experiência de ID contou com a participação de alunos do curso de graduação em Ciência da Computação da UFBA, que atuaram como instrutores. O gerenciamento do curso, a elaboração das aulas e do material didático foram feitos com a utilização de ferramentas colaborativas livres. O próprio conteúdo do curso de informática foi baseado em soluções livres, dentro do sistema operacional GNU/Linux. O resultado foi encorajador: dos 22 alunos que concluíram o curso com sucesso, 13 já estão empregados em menos de 6 meses e 2 decidiram matricular-se em curso pré-vestibular. Acreditamos que iniciativas como esta despertam nos jovens a motivação de engajar-se na universidade ou no mercado de trabalho.
