About Us

We exist to close the gender gap in technology.

Women and girls are still underrepresented across technology. TechnovateHer exists to change that, by creating a friendly, welcoming space where curiosity is the only thing you need to get started.

Our Mission

To empower women and girls to confidently learn, build, and lead in technology by providing accessible, hands-on education, meaningful mentorship, and a community that champions their potential.

Our Vision

A technology industry where women and girls are equally represented, valued, and leading, shaping the AI, products, and systems that define our shared future.

Our Story

A small start, a big hope

Technology shapes almost every part of our lives, from how we work to how we communicate, learn, and make decisions. Yet the people building that technology still do not reflect the people using it. Women remain badly underrepresented across the tech industry, and the numbers are even starker for Black women and girls, who face some of the largest gaps of all.

This is not a talent problem. Black women and girls are just as curious, capable, and creative as anyone else. The gap exists because of barriers: fewer role models who look like them, fewer spaces that feel welcoming, and fewer chances to explore technology without pressure or judgment. When you cannot see yourself in a field, it is hard to imagine belonging there.

TechnovateHer exists to change that. We are a small, new, volunteer-run non-profit based in Ontario, creating friendly spaces where women and girls, especially those who have been left out of tech, can explore things like AI, build their confidence, and see what is possible. No experience is required, and there is no gatekeeping. You bring curiosity, and we meet you where you are.

Change starts small and grows. Every woman or girl who walks through our doors, asks a question, or builds something for the first time helps shift the picture, and we would love for you to be part of it from the very beginning.

What We Value

Principles that guide us

Belonging First

We build spaces where every woman and girl feels welcome, respected, and free to learn without judgment.

Learning by Doing

Theory is not enough. We learn by building real projects that solve real problems.

Equity & Access

We remove barriers like cost, geography, and confidence, so technology is reachable for everyone.

Representation Matters

Women leading women. Visible role models inspire the next generation to see themselves in tech.

Community Driven

Volunteer led, community powered

TechnovateHer is powered by women in tech who volunteer their time to teach, mentor, and advocate. No gatekeeping, no hierarchy, just a community invested in helping the next woman or girl find her footing in technology.
