Technovation For Girls

Hi all,
Here is another opportunity worth checking out for all women interested in STEM.
-----
Technovation is the largest technology education program for girls, with thousands of alumnae in over 28 countries. Middle and high school students research, design, build, and launch a mobile app prototype over 3 months, with guidance from dedicated teachers and female mentors who are STEM and business professionals. No prior app development experience is necessary.
Sign up today and get your students involved. (http://www.technovationchallenge.org/2015-coach-prereg/) 75% of alumnae said they could see themselves in a technology/STEM career after they finished the program. Training materials will be available for all educators. The official 2015 program season begins in January and curriculum will be available in October.
Technovation recently went live with a gallery of 362 apps from the 2014 Technovation season. (http://bit.ly/2014AppGalery)  Every submission from this year is included--and every single one was developed to solve a problem in the team's community.
See the submissions, read their descriptions, scroll through screen shots, watch demo videos, and hear each team’s pitch. You can also read more about the gallery from TechRepublic. (http://tek.io/1qZC2C2)
