Technovation Challenge has received tremendous support in the Valley from luminaries such as Padmasree Warrior, CTO Cisco, Marissa Mayer, CEO, Yahoo, Freda Kapor-Klein, Ben Horowitz etc. matches the female students with mentors who are women in professional roles. Together they work through an online curriculum which is similar to a mini-MBA focused on creating an app, by defining a problem, understanding how the app solves the problem, understanding the customer need, market size, competition etc. Thus these girls are exposed to the whole business life cycle of creating a mobile app. At the end of the 12 weeks, the girls participate in a regional pitch competition after which the finalists come to Silicon Valley for the World Pitch competition. This 12-week program (2 hours per week) will start in February 2014 and we invite you to spread the word to 1st/2nd year female undergraduates in your faculty. Interested students should send an email to meawang@ucalgary.ca Thank you!
