Technovation[MN] teachers might be school teachers, after school program leaders, parents, or community leaders. They recruit teams of girls to participate in the program, provide a safe space with internet access where they can work, coordinate with the teams’ mentors, and supervise their teams throughout the 3-month program.
Technovation[MN] teachers who are also school teachers often supervise their teams in the classroom after school. Some computer science teachers have also incorporated Technovation Girls’ curriculum into their classroom work. Technovation Girls’ curriculum is based on the ISTE student standards of technology.
Participants – Teachers in any subject or other adult supervisors, both men and women
