We've found that many girls like to participate in Technovation Girls with a team. It's also okay to work on your submission alone - it'll just be more work!

Teams can have up to 5 girls between the ages 8 to 18.

Here are some ways to get other girls to join your team!

• Reach out to friends and family.

• Set up a table at your school to share information about Technovation Girls. You can edit and use these flyers.

• Ask a teacher if you may present about Technovation Girls to their class for 5-10 minutes (a science, math, technology, robotics or coding teacher could be especially supportive!).

• Arrange an after-school information session or club for interested students.

• Ask teachers if they can offer extra credit for students who participate.

• Add a short article to your school's newsletter.

• Ask your school administrator (principal) if you can present Technovation Girls at an all-school assembly or faculty meeting.

If you would like to share an article or poster for your school and need help, please let us know at info@TechnovationGirlsBC.ca.

Once you have a team, you can log into your dashboard and create a team or join an existing team. This way, we know who's who, and you all can work together on a submission!
