Hello everybody!

Welcome to the Technovation Girls community and the 2024 Technovation season! We are so glad that you join us!

You are receiving this email because you either have signed up to be a part of the Waterloo Chapter of Technovation Girls for the 2024 season, or because you are signed up to participate in the 2024 Technovation Challenge and our data indicates that you are within the reach of the Waterloo Chapter. 

👉 This is Week 1 of our weekly emails! We are excited to share our plans for our 2024 season with you! Our team is hard at work to organise our monthly events as well as a potential workshop for March Break. All in cooperation with a lot of Waterloo Tech companies - they don’t call us the ‘MIT of the North’ for nothing!
