Program - Technovation Challenge 2013 - Dec 15

Technovation Challenge 2013 Theme

The quickest way to become a part of this movement is to start a team. This is how!

 

Technovation Challenge provides a life-changing experience to girls – an experience through which they succeed in a field they never thought they could contribute to, let alone succeed.

For the 2013 challenge, girls have to develop an app that solves a problem in their local community. This could be a health problem that affects their community, a social problem, or even a lack of a resource.
Over a short period of time (12 weeks), girls will step through an online curriculum (hosted on P2PU) that helps them develop a potential solution and program a mobile phone application to solve it. They will learn how to study their competition, identify ways in which they can gather users and earn revenue.
They will develop a business plan and pitch and will submit their ideas (through video) to a regional (online) competition.
Regional winners will travel to the California and compete at the Technovation World Pitch event on May 1st, 2013. The winning team will receive $10,000 in funding and support to complete their app development and release it on the market.
Here is the rationale behind the curriculum: Rationale
