At home and abroad, TechWomen mentors have been actively involved in the promotion and success of the Technovation Challenge. Mentor Anar Simpson, Technovation’s Global Ambassador, has used her TechWomen connections to inspire fellows to organize Technovation programs in their home countries, and a number of other mentors are also deeply engaged.
In addition to encouraging fellows to lead Technovation teams in their countries, mentors have also taken an active role in working with girls who participate, helping fellows by leading or contributing to Technovation workshops. Just this year, Rekha Pai Kamath led Technovation workshops in Uzbekistan, Cathy Simpson led workshops in Kazakhstan, and Eileen Brewer and Erin Keeley provided on-site support for training and activities related to Technovation Tunisia’s spring camp.
