Technovation Girls is an internationally renowned programme that promotes the participation of girls aged 8 to 18 in STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths), through the development of technological solutions for real problems in their communities.
The Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon will host, on the upcoming 23rd of May, the national final event of Technovation Girls Portugal 2026.
Coordinated in Portugal by Happy Code, the programme promotes skills in the STEAM fields, encouraging young girls to explore programming, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, communication and critical thinking.
