Technovation is the world’s largest technology entrepreneurship competition for girls. Our free program equips girls aged 8-18 with essential skills for a successful future. As a Mentor, you’ll help them develop leadership, problem-solving, and collaboration skills while becoming part of a global community of students and professionals creating technology for good.
This volunteer role is ideal for teachers, after-school providers, non-profit staff, and industry professionals passionate about bridging the gender gap in STEM!
Mentors guide a team of 1-5 girls through the season, helping them learn coding, entrepreneurship, and real-world problem-solving.
Technovation provides all necessary training, curriculum, and support. No tech experience is required to volunteer!
We recommend registering by December 6 to allow ample time for preparation before the season begins.
