Founded in 2009, Technovation Challenge is a global technology entrepreneurship competition for girls ages 10 to 18. As stated on the official website, their goal is to “to inspire and support girls and women to become creators and innovators.” Participants work in teams “to learn how identify a problem in their community and develop a mobile app to solve it.”

This is the the first year that Technovation Challenge is open to Thailand. On Saturday, March 17, Ms. Racha Bella, the Technovation Thailand Ambassador, hosted a workshop at �ۿ۴�ý that was open to all participating teams in Bangkok. Participants learned how to make efficient prototypes for their apps, and about the process of creating a business plan for apps as well.

Thank you to Technovation Thailand for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the students!

Looking forward to more workshops to come!

On Tuesday, November 21, a group of High School representatives from our Student Council and MUN Club attended the UNESCAP Interregional Youth Policy Forum at the United Nations here in Bangkok. The purpose of the forum was to unite UN officials, policymakers and youth leaders from Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Western Asia to share their experiences collaborating on the Development Account project: “Strengthening the capacity of Governments in the ESCAP, ECA and ESCWA regions to respond to the needs of youth in formulating inclusive and sustainable development policies.”

The students joined a panel discussion on youth policy and development at global and regional levels, and listened to diverse perspectives on the topic. The intended outcome of this discussion was to increase familiarity and capacity identifying the needs of youth, in order to effectively support their development.

Wells would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Marco Roncarati and Mr. Bryce Hartley at UNESCAP for giving us the opportunity to learn and participate in the youth policy forum!
