Speakers and Coaches

Do you have coding, AI, ideation or entrepreneurial expertise to share?

Become a speaker!

Our weekly virtual sessions consist of coding, ideation and entrepreneurial content in line with the Technovation Girls curriculum (external link) . We are currently looking for speakers in different areas of expertise to help guide the girls through the curriculum. We record the sessions so that the girls can review them during the season.

Our weekly virtual sessions  will run on Tuesday evenings, starting January 28. Please refer to our schedule for our topics and dates.

Speakers can refer to the Technovation curriculum to determine content, but we ask that speakers prepare their own slides for the sessions. The presentation should normally be about 20-30 minutes, with careful consideration for the target audience. The sessions should be engaging and allow time for girls to ask questions. Technovation has revised the curriculm pages for the 20225 season. We will update the links the corresponding topics on our schedule page.

Become a coach!

Coaches support teams with specific questions during a single session. They can sign up to work with our Toronto teams at our in-person sessions, according to our schedule, or they can work with teams virtually by appointment. Our virtual coaches determine when they want to be available to book time with teams. The girls send questions in advance when they book a session. At least one trusted adult must attend each session.

Note

Every volunteer should make sure to review Technovation's volunteer code of conduct (external link) .

You are welcome to sign up as both a speaker and a coach. We appreciate the expertise you have to share!
