Technovation is a global competition aimed at encouraging girls to develop apps that address community issues. In Ireland, this initiative is supported by Teen-Turn.
Participants can work individually or in small groups to design an app that tackles a problem they care about. Over the 12-week program, students will create business and marketing plans, and learn some coding to develop their app. The program concludes with a Pitch Day on Saturday, May 10th, in Dublin, where participants will present their apps and have the chance to win fantastic prizes. Teen-Turn will provide transport to Dublin, and no prior coding experience is required to participate.
At Dominican College, we will hold in-person sessions starting Wednesday, January 22nd (Week 2), every Wednesday from 4:00–6:00 PM in Room 30. The first session (Session 1) will be held online, and a link will be sent to registered students.
Students must register in advance at: https://teen-turn.com/afterschool-form/.

Dear parent/guardian,
We are aware that some of our students' homes are still without electricity or water.

If there is any other way we can support our students with this please let us know.
