With just under 2 months to go before the April 19 submission deadline for Technovation, our students and teachers are in full swing. Brainstorming community challenges is complete and our teams of girls are working hard to conceptualize the functions of their app before beginning their coding. For many of our students, this is the first time they have particpated in Technovation - making each step a new encounter. Five of the Kidspire lead teachers are mentoring a representative team from each orphanage so that we can have at least team from each orphanage submitting their projects to the Technovation judges for review. This would mark a significant accomplishments for our students, and our teachers, and our entire program.
We're also excited to announce that we'll have some amazing volunteers from Cadence Design Systems and Team4Tech helping to mentor our students - via zoom video - through the final 6 weeks of the project - helping them to define and refine their project pitches.
As always, thanks to each of you who have so generously donated to help us keep this Technovation program going for our students across our partner orphanages. We are so grateful.
