The global Technovation challenge is changing for the 2027 season. There will be a whole new registion platform, new submisison guidelines, increased options for digital project types and there will be a pilot for a co-ed stream. Stay tuned!
The Toronto Chapter
Our Toronto chapter covers the greater Toronto area. We help the girls form teams, connect them with mentors, and host workshops and other events to support everyone throughout the Check out our Girls page for more details about the program.
For the 2027 season, we are running the program in a hybrid format, with online sessions for discussing content, and in-person sessions for teams to work together. Our chapter is not part of the co-ed pilot, so will be supporting girls for the 2027 season.
Girls will:
- identify problems in their community.
- create digital solutions to address the problem.
- compose business canvas.
- pitch their ideas.
- and more!
Roles in Technovation Girls
Girls between the ages of 8 and 18 form teams, in different divisions, to compete in the Technovation Challenge. Our Toronto chapter supports girls in all 3 divisions.
Mentors guide the girls through the development of their apps and their businesses.
Speakers present at virtual workshops to help the girls through the ideation, tech and business curriculum.
Coaches provide feedback to teams during in-person sessions. These are folks who are interested in supporting the program but have less free time in their calendars. The time commitment is about 2 hours per session.
Judges assess submissions from teams and offer feedback.
Sponsors help support the program and enhance the experience for the girls.
Chapter ambassadors build the Technovation communities in their area by recruiting participants and organizing events. The ambassador for Technovation Girls Toronto is Dr. Emily Agard from SciXchange at 91影视.
