Overview

Overview:

We’re entrepreneurs, mentors, and educators looking to teach girls everywhere the skills they need to change the world with technology.

Technovation offers girls around the world the opportunity to learn the skills they need to emerge as tech entrepreneurs and leaders. Every year we invite girls to identify a problem in their community, and then challenge them to solve it.

Girls work in teams to build both a mobile app and a business plan to launch that app, supported by mentors and guided by our curriculum.

Technovation’s curriculum takes students through 4 stages of launching a mobile app startup, inspired by the principles of design thinking:

  1. Ideation
    Identify a problem in the community
  2. Technology
    Develop a mobile app solution
  3. Entrepreneurship
    Build a business plan to launch the app
  4. Pitch
    Bring the business to market

Spud’s Thoughts:

A dear friend of mine leads the Technovation program in Moldova and has seen so many young girls pursue their dreams and acquire the skills they need to create real change in their communities. I absolutely love this program and feel it fills a critical need to get more women into coding and web development.
