Action – Technovation Girls Portugal
Description – Technovation Girls is the world’s largest technology education program that aims to empower girls aged 8 to 18 to become confident in STEM areas, leaders in identifying and raising awareness of relevant current issues and creators of technological solutions.
Participants work as a team (with a maximum of five members), selecting a problem in their community and creating a mobile app or artificial intelligence project to help solve it.
The program has an associated curriculum, which trains and guides teams and takes around 40 hours to complete. Along the way (January to May) the teams are supported by mentors who guide them on this challenging journey in which they are expected to develop not only technical and business knowledge, but also socio-emotional skills.
The submitted works are evaluated by an international jury that will leave constructive comments for the improvement of the projects and will select finalists for a global event, which will take place in August (World Summit Technovation Girls).
Who can participate? Girls (8-18 years); mentors; families; promoters; Sponsoring Organizers; Trainers and Evaluators.
