Technovation Challenge Pitch Night 2011
The mission of the Technovation Challenge is to promote women in technology by giving girls the skills and confidence they need to be successful in computer science and entrepreneurship. We aim to inspire girls to see themselves not just as users of technology, but as inventors, designers, builders and entrepreneurs.
In the course, students design a mobile phone app prototype, write a business plan, and “pitch” their plan to a panel of venture capitalists at a high-visibility, “Pitch Competition” event. Winners of each regional Pitch Competition come to the San Francisco Bay Area for a “National Pitch Competition,” where they compete to have their app professionally developed and distributed on the Android Market.
