The Technovation Challenge is a worldwide, 12-week technology entrepreneurship competition in which each team of five middle- or high-school girls identifies a problem in the local community, builds a prototype mobile app for it, develops a business plan, and pitches it to potential investors.  Teams meet for 3-4 hours weekly with female mentors from the tech/business community, February-April, in preparation for regional and worldwide events in May and June.  Last year,  one of two Technovation teams at Newton South HS, the TechnoLions, placed second statewide and went on to compete in the national finals.  If you’re interested in participating as a student, teacher/coach, or mentor, sign up now but no later than March 8. For more information, email info@technovationchallenge.org.
