Announcing winners is such a joyful part of our season. But seeing our own Technovation Girls get jobs in companies we partner with, and then return as judges - that's what it's all about. Thanks for sharing Dayane Lima.
[English] In 2020, I took part in my first international competition: Technovation Girls. That's when I also programmed my first app with a group of high school friends. We used block programming, so you can tell that I was really just starting out 😅. But it was this experience that made me realize how much I loved developing solutions through technology. In 2021, after gaining more experience in technology, I had the opportunity to speak at the Technovation Summit to encourage other girls to enter the STEM field. In 2022, I was hired as a Junior Developer by NTT DATA, a partner company of Technovation Girls. This year, I had the opportunity to represent the company as a judge for Technovation Girls 2024, evaluating solutions based on my experience and encouraging the next generation of female programmers. There were over 14,000 evaluations and more than 3,200 projects submitted this year. Ever since I got into tech, communities have supported me to continuously evolve. I'm happy to give back a little of all the support I've received, and I know I have so much more to offer! Thank you NTT DATA Europe & Latam and Technovation for enabling me to build a future where technology is inclusive and positively impacts society! --- [Português] Em 2020, participei da minha primeira competição internacional: Technovation Girls. Foi quando também programei meu primeiro app com um grupo de amigas do Ensino Médio. Foi todo feito com programação em blocos, então dá para perceber que eu estava iniciando realmente 😅 Mas foi essa experiência que me fez perceber que eu realmente amava desenvolver soluções por meio da tecnologia. Em 2021, após muitas outras experiências em tecnologia eu pude palestrar no Technovation Summit para incentivar outras meninas a entrarem na área de STEM. Em 2022, fui contratada como desenvolvedora Junior pela NTT DATA, uma empresa parceira do Technovation Girls. Esse ano, tive a oportunidade de representar a empresa sendo juíza do Technovation Girls 2024, avaliando soluções a partir da minha experiência e encorajando a nova geração de programadoras. Foram mais de 14.000 avaliações e mais de 3.200 projetos submetidos esse ano. Desde que entrei para tecnologia, comunidades veem me apoiando a evoluir continuamente. Fico feliz de poder doar um pouco de todo esforço que já recebi e ainda sei que tenho muito mais a oferecer! Obrigada NTT DATA Europe & Latam e Technovation por me possibilitar construir um futuro onde a tecnologia é inclusiva e impacta positivamente a sociedade! #Technovation #NTTDATA #TechnovationGirls #womeninSTEM #girlsinSTEM

Even before graduating our alumnae are setting the bar high for socially conscious tech innovations. Rhea, a Sacramento native, designed an app in eighth grade to help raise awareness about ecological footprints. She is now an advocate for local and state governments to leverage their economic power and invest in technologies like Carbon Capture and Storage. Read more from Rhea: https://bit.ly/3W6Vm6M

Oracle Volunteers and their engagement in underserved communities around the world are a testament to their commitment to empowering girls. "Over the course of four months, 26 Oracle volunteers had the privilege to guide 10 teams of 41 talented students from all across India. Together, we achieved something truly special—outstanding projects covering diverse topics such as mental health, career development, environmental conservation, law, pet care, and road assistance, among others. These projects were developed from scratch by the students under the expert guidance of Oracle mentors and teachers. This collaboration exemplifies the power of technology to drive positive change, and I'm immensely proud of our students' dedication and Oracle volunteers' unwavering support." -Rajeshwari Rai Thank you to Oracle for your incredible support this season! #OracleGiving #OracleVolunteers

This season alone 5,000 judges gave over 14,500 scores across 2 rounds of judging. We love when former participants return as judges! "Being a judge on the Technovation program I participated in exactly 10 years ago is a deeply fulfilling full-circle moment for me. Seeing the amazing ideas and hard work these young girls bring to the table is truly inspiring. It reminds me of my own journey and how far I've come in the technology industry. I'm excited to support and encourage them, knowing they are the next generation of tech leaders." - Oluwatofunmi Awodiji
