What is Technovation??




Technovation is an international program that
teaches mobile app development and
entrepreneurship.

High school and middle school female students
work in teams of up to 5 to develop mobile apps
to solve a problem in their local community.

Teams work with a classroom teacher or coach
at their school and a female mentor/role model
from the technology industry.

Regional winners compete at the World Pitch
event in California where teams compete for
funding to launch their company and take their
app to market!
