Tech Company Field Trip [Oct. 10, 2012, 4:13 a.m.]



To kick off the program, you'll attend a field trip with your team to a local technology company. You'll learn about what happens inside of a tech company through hands-on activities, meet the company’s top women executives, and mingle with other girls participating in Technovation from nearby schools.

Mentors can help arrange a field trip at their own company or find another suitable venue. Teachers can also help to arrange field trips. Field trips should be full-day experiences, during the week, and students will miss one day of school. At least one teacher must be present to chaperone students during the field trip.

Students, please post comments about your field trips below!  We want to hear what you learned and what you enjoyed about your field trip.

Virtual Field Trips:
