Run Our Programs

Technovation runs in 160 countries because the people who run it live there.

Educators, advocates, and local leaders run our program because they understand their communities in ways no outside organization could.

That local knowledge is the reason our impact lasts.

Our role is to clear their road blocks and to put real problem-solving power in the hands of people who've been closest to these problems all along.

What it looks like in practice

The curriculum is free and flexible enough that our partners can match it to their time, resources, and community. Training comes from real people supported by a global network of others doing the same work in their own countries.

Our program changes the way participants see their own place in the world. They become builders and problem-solvers, and that shift carries into their lives, their prospects in a fast-changing job market, and the kind of technology that gets built in the first place.

The same program, locally adapted

Flexibility and local knowledge mean the program looks different everywhere it runs.

US School Model
Merced City School District runs Technovation as an afterschool program at six schools, each led by a teacher, with the district's STEAM Center hosting an annual end-of-season celebration and field trips.
Chile’s National Model
Technovation Chile reaches more than 2,500 girls a year through three formats: Saturday programs at partner universities, classes at public high schools, and intensive bootcamps, backed by three national ministries.
Nigeria’s Community Non-Profit
Odyssey Educational Foundation runs the Technovation Abuja Chapter across 15 public schools, reaching over 420 girls with volunteer mentors.
India’s Infrastructure Approach
The STEAM Vision Foundation provides equipped STEAM labs in rural communities, guiding girls from their first time using a laptop to building apps and pitching them.

These partners cultivate learners who understand the tools necessary to build real solutions to problems that matter by tailoring Technovation to fit the specific needs of their communities and resources.

Start where you are

You know your community. That's the qualification. The curriculum is free, the support is human, and the rest is the problem you already care about.
