This lesson reinforces Technovation’s mission and vision.Technovation aims to promote women in technology by giving girls the confidence and expose them early to skills they need to succeed in computer science and entrepreneurship. We want to empower every girl with the confidence to enter a career in technology and entrepreneurship. The first component of this week is meant for you to speak frankly about your perceptions of entrepreneurs and success. In the discussion portion of this presentation, we want to have you think about the personal characteristics of these vastly successful people and see that although they are famous, they also have characteristics that you share. We want you to see that being an entrepreneur is possible when you have the drive and vision.

This lesson covers some of the basics in the business world. Following the discussion on entrepreneurship, you will then learn about value propositions, market size, revenue streams, cost structure, and distribution channels. Revenue streams and distribution channels are different in that revenue streams produce profit and distribution channels help the app reach its market. Distribution channels would ideally produce revenue as a result of accessing them.
