Every month, STEM professionals step outside their discipline to mentor students. While the mentorship principles are the same regardless of familiarity with the concepts at hand, sometimes mentors need to provide discipline-specific feedback.
Our goal is to provide mentor guides for all 90+ design challenges (hands on projects) hosted on Curiosity Machine. We need your expertise to add specific concepts, talking points, images and videos to this guide, to help your fellow mentors. This is a 1-2 hour commitment.

Mission Statement
Technovation's mission is to empower girls, especially those from underrepresented communities, to develop problem solving skills, self-efficacy, and financial capacity, critical to them becoming leaders and changemakers in their communities.
Description
Our Technovation Girls program equips young women (ages 8-18) to become tech entrepreneurs and leaders. With the support of volunteer mentors and parents, girls work in teams to code mobile apps that address real-world problems.
Girls are ready to change the world. Technovation makes sure they have the tools they need
Over the last 15 years, we’ve trained 150,000 young women to be technology entrepreneurs & innovators, empowering them to solve problems in their communities using technology.
5+ years after participating in Technovation programs, alumnae still credit the program with influencing their interests, career, and professional pursuits.
76% of Technovation alumnae pursue a STEM degree compared to 21% of female undergraduates who received STEM related degrees in 2012.
60% of Technovation alumnae work in STEM-related positions, compared to the national average in 2013.
Volunteer and help girls in your community learn and create solutions to real problems using technology!
