Technovation Girls Global Competition

Technovation is a global program that equips young women ages 10-18 to become tech entrepreneurs and leaders. Many SIMNY'ers joined the global judging panel again this year. We evaluated some of the many innovative apps submitted from inspired teams who focused on solving pressing problems in their communities around the world.

NYC FIRST Tech Challenge

Supporting broad STEM education, SIMNY members served as judges in the NYC FIRST Challenge. High School teams designed and built working robots while overcoming pandemic challenges. Students applied advanced techniques while collaborating remotely. SIMNY is proud to support tech leaders of the future.
