Sustainable Development Goals

Girls solve global problems

As it turns out, the problems that matter most to girls are the same ones that matter to world leaders. We ask girls to consider how the problems they choose to solve align to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals—and every year we're blown away by their ingenuity.

Technovation empowers girls through technology education and access to a powerful network of supporters.
