Does your daughter want to make a difference in her world? If so, she should join the Compass Technovation Team for girls! As part of the Technovation Team, girls will work in small groups to identify a problem in the community, propose a technology-based solution, and learn to code a unique mobile app to address the issue.
Imagine a phone app that could quickly reunite lost pets, connect the poor with resources that they need, or report a problem in the community! Last year’s Compass teams created platforms to provide resources for children in foster care and tips to make fast fashion more sustainable.
Girls will learn to “code for a cause” through their Technovation team. Each year, Technovation teams solve real world problems through the technology they develop! Since 2010, 140,000 girls in 100 countries around the world have developed mobile apps and startups to solve problems around a diverse range of problems, including food waste, nutrition, women’s safety, and much more.
Join the “world’s largest technology entrepreneurship program for girls!” No prior coding experience is needed, but 70% of girls who participate in Technovation will gain the confidence to take more courses in computer science, and 26% go on to eventually major in computer science.
Code for a Cause: Technovation Team is a year-long, 24-week program at Compass for girls in 7th – 12th grades. The group will meet on Fridays from 12:00 pm- 2:00 pm starting September 11. Click here for more program details and to become part of the 2026-27 Girls’ Technovation team at Compass!
