Did you know that only 18% of computer science students are women?  That has got to change!

Technovation Challenge is world-wide competition created to get girls interested in STEM careers such as computer science and math.

Helping girls get excited about coding is one of my goals!  I've been a Technovation Coach for the past 3 years.  We have 2 teams who have made it into the 2017 Semifinals.  They are among the Canada's Top 10 Junior teams!  Way to go, girls!                                                                                       (Photo: Cornelia Naylor)
