TA Application Form for 2012 Technovation Challenge
<strong>Program Details:</strong>

Iridescent's Technovation Challenge Program is an evening course that brings together teams of high school girls and pairs them with female mentors, outstanding classroom teachers, and cutting edge technology. Students learn entrepreneurial skills and mobile app programming concepts via Google App Inventor for Android. Each team creates a mobile app prototype, business plan, marketing strategy, and funding pitch for their app. The program culminates at "Pitch Night" where students demo their apps and present their business plans to venture capitalists, competing to win prizes including professional app development and distribution on the Google Marketplace.  Learn more at www.technovationchallenge.org or watch our latest video: bit.ly/TCvideo2011.
