Every single one of these programs, products, or community initiatives is FREE. Our commitment to access and agency is at the heart of everything we do and that means making sure cost will never be a barrier. This year alone we: ✅ Developed a new AI in Action curriculum that makes integrating AI into classrooms more fun for students and less overwhelming for educators ✅ Launched a new AI Ventures Accelerator to put funding and professional support in the hands of young female entrepreneurs. ✅ Kicked off an all new season of Technovation Girls, with expanded SDG lessons in even more languages ✅ Welcomed Women Techmakers into our community making it one of the largest groups of women in tech advocates in the world. Thank you to the amazing army of volunteers and donors who support our work and help us respond to community needs as quickly as possible.

Right now, students see AI as a tool that does things FOR them, not something they can BUILD WITH. Technovation's free AI in Action curriculum changes that mindset. When students learn to create with AI, they solve real problems in their communities: 💡88% accurate asthma detection from cough audio for faster diagnosis in underserved areas 💡Real-time emergency escape planning with personalized routes to hospitals and shelters 💡PCOS screening tool that addresses a chronically under-diagnosed women's health crisis These are actual app examples built by students around the world creating real impact.

"We can continue fighting over a shrinking pie of traditional jobs, creating resentment and division that weakens us all. Or we can recognize that AI is creating a fundamentally larger pie, one big enough for everyone who's willing to innovate, adapt and work together." - Tara Chklovski, Founder and CEO of Technovation Read more about the idea of reshaping here: https://bit.ly/4hYGSPC #FutureOfWork #AIForGood
