The 2014 Technovation season kicked off in Minnesota and we are pleased to announce that we have 18 Minnesota teams, 78 girls, competing in the global challenge.
The Global Technovation Challenge is a technology entrepreneurship program and competition for young women. Through an intensive 3-month, 50-hour curriculum, teams of young women work together to imagine, design, and develop mobile apps, then pitch their “startup” businesses to investors.
Technovation puts a purpose behind programming. The 2014 program theme challenges young women to develop an app to solve a real problem in their community. Girls can create an app that addresses a teen issue, women’s issue or create an app for a non-profit.
