Technovation aims to create an environment in which high school girls feel empowered and confident. Promotion of self is a skill that many women have difficulty with, and this can have a negative impact on their careers. This lesson equips students with skills in self-promotion and boosts their confidence when presenting to a group. Each team will practice their 4-minute pitch and film a practice video.
