What Is Technovation Girls?

Technovation Girls is an international technology and entrepreneurship education program that equips young women ages 13-18 with the skills they need to become tech entrepreneurs and leaders.

With support from volunteer mentors, girls work in teams to develop technology projects that address and solve real-world challenges and problems in their community. They learn programming basics to develop a phone app or AI prototype and learn how to pitch and market their idea.

Created in 2009 in the United States’ Silicon Valley, Technovation Girls has reached girls in 100+ countries. Technovation Girls
