Technovation Girls and the challenge of stopping girls from leaving STEM careers

▤ Summary

Technovation Girls Chile highlights how many girls lose interest in STEM during adolescence despite early curiosity in science and technology. The organization argues that cultural barriers, not lack of ability, drive the drop in participation. It also says the future workforce will be increasingly tech-heavy, making it important to expand the female talent pipeline now. The program reaches about 10,000 girls a year and teaches mobile app development and AI problem solving with support from companies such as Transbank, MetLife, and Motorola.
