Run the Technovation Girls program in your community

Empowering young women to become leaders in technology, problem solvers, entrepreneurs, and innovators is at the heart of what we do at Technovation, a global tech education nonprofit. 

Technovation Girls is our free program designed to equip young women aged 8 to 18 with the skills they need to tackle real-world challenges using technology. With the guidance of volunteer mentors and supportive parents, girls work collaboratively in teams to identify problems within their communities and develop tech-based solutions, all while honing their collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership skills.
