InnovateHer <online> student application
The InnovateHer online programme is now available for free to a limited number of students who fit the criteria, thanks to donations from some individuals and companies.
The Tech For Good Foundation course teaches students essential digital skills such as design, User Experience (UX), ideation and pitching. Girls are guided through the content each week by real-life industry mentors who inspire and connect girls to the world of tech.
The course content has been created alongside local tech businesses so that it will not only be fun, but relevant to the real-world! This content is not currently taught in schools as part of the curriculum.
We want to reach a wide range of students, especially those who wouldn't consider themselves interested in technology. The criteria for gaining a free place are:
Whether your child is eligible for free school meals / pupil premium?
Whether your child is aged between 13-16?
Your post code area - we want to have a wide geographic distribution amongst those who have access to the course.
If you don't have access to a suitable device for your child, we have partnered with the Princes Trust to provide devices in some areas, so please indicate this on the form. We can also provide WiFi access via dongles preloaded with a data allowance.
Terms and conditions apply: The Princes Trust can only currently offer this in the Greater Manchester area for those aged 14+. Do let us know if you are in need and live outside of this area as we may still be able to help source a device for you.
This form is for submitting an application for your child to attend the 6 module InnovateHer programme online. There will be 6 module sessions hosted by an industry expert mentor. The guided sessions last for 15 - 25 minutes each week and students will be set homework challenges to complete in between the sessions.
Girls who apply should be committed to working through each session online independently via the InnovateHer Online Portal and complete the programme by the date specified to each individual student.
