The girls' teams have developed projects on improving the quality of education in schools, monitoring the air in Tashkent, reducing gender inequality and bullying, strengthening inclusion in our society, protecting against fraudulent calls and theft of money from bank cards. Many projects are created using AI (artificial intelligence).
"This season, thanks to the support of our partners, we were able to reach a large number of participants in various regions, and 83 teams have developed social mobile applications. For us, these are not just numbers, because each team has a lot of work from participants and mentors, research on social problems in their regions, and many girls have changed their plans and become interested in IT technologies and development opportunities in STEM," said Saida Yusupova, director of Tech4Impact NGO.
The 12-week program included training modules on programming, marketing, business plan preparation, video making and presentation skills. Trainings and seminars were held in Andijan, Namangan, Nukus, Tashkent, Ferghana and online. The girls learned how to solve socially significant problems using technology and created innovative mobile applications in areas related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
"This competition is a vivid example of how modern technologies can become a powerful tool for solving global problems. The projects of the participants not only demonstrate a high level of professionalism, but also emphasize their indifference to the most important social issues. In the field of sustainable development and ecology, these projects can help to realize the importance of environmental protection and teach how to apply environmentally friendly technologies in everyday life," said Temirov Anvar, Head of the Department of Environmental Education, Science and Innovation of the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change.
Within the framework of the event, the Technovation Girls teams (girls aged 8-18) from Tashkent, Andijan, Namangan, Nukus and Ferghana demonstrated the results of their work on projects by presenting their social mobile applications at exhibition stands. Among the nominations are the best projects on using the capabilities of artificial intelligence, safe cities, gender equality, ecology, education and culture, healthcare, and equal opportunities.
As a result of the event, 10 Technovation Girls teams were awarded in thematic nominations from the event's partners. The girls' ecology team received certificates and special prizes from the Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection and Climate Change.
