Technovation Girls
Technovation Girls is a program that runs from the fall until the spring and introduces girls and gender-diverse youth to computing via entrepreneurship. Participants identify a problem in their community, learn to create a mobile app or an AI solution to address that problem, and then pitch their work as a business. The Technovation Girls Waterloo chapter supports girls and gender-diverse youth between the ages of 10 and 18.
FLIGHT (Future Leaders Innovating to Go Higher in Technology)
FLIGHT is a virtual summer camp that introduces girls and gender-diverse youth aged 13-18 who self-identify as Black or any other underrepresented minority, to tech entrepreneurship by teaching them how to; define a problem, think of a solution, prototype their idea, and pitch their project!
GIRLsmarts4tech
GIRLsmarts4tech is an outreach program aimed at inspiring girls in Grades 6 and 7 to explore technology. GIRLsmarts4tech is a good stepping stone for the Technovation program, though girls can go straight into Technovation.
Resources for GIRLsmarts4tech
A list of resources for young girls and gender-diverse coders, including the Master's in Data Science Ultimate STEM Guide for Kids. The gender gap is slowly shrinking in these fields as more initiatives crop up, including organizations such as Girls Who Code, but since women and gender diverse individuals are still vastly underrepresented, we’ve included STEM activities specifically for girls and gender-diverse youth.
