We are so proud of all the young ladies who participated in Technovation this year. We had 101 participants from across 11 orphanages participate in 18 weeks of the project. This included the 12-week curriculum provided by Technovation plus 6 additional weeks from Kidspire that we used to help teach skills that we knew the participants would need to successfully complete the project.
Two of our participating teams advanced to the semi-final round - impressing the global panel of judges with the relevance of their app addressing depression among youth. This is especially prevalent for the Kidspire student population who are growing up in orphanages. The team ideated, created, listened to feedback, refined, completed, and pitched their app. Click the link below to see their pitch video where they provide background context and share their idea and solution.
We love the Technovation project for the many ways it helps our participating students to collaborate, communicate, ideate - all while producing meaningful projects.
Thank you to each of you who have supported Kidspire with contributions that help make this program possible.
Sincerely,
Tad
