🎉 That's a wrap on Appapalooza 2026! This year, teams of girls from across Minnesota pitched their apps to judges, answering tough questions and showing off months of hard work. From energy conservation to food nutrition to personal safety, these girls identified real problems and built real solutions. 👏 Congratulations to our 6 regional winners, and a huge round of applause to every team that submitted a project this season. Getting to the finish line is an achievement worth celebrating. A heartfelt thank you to our volunteer judges, supportive parents, and the mentors who showed up all season long. 💜 ✨ Read the full recap on our blog: https://buff.ly/buFUbKE Technovation Girls Minnesota is proudly powered by Code Savvy. #TechnovationMN #TechnovationGirls #Appapalooza2026 #GirlsInSTEM #CodeSavvy #PitchEvent #Technovation

5 days left. Let's finish strong. 💙 This May, we set out to raise funds to keep Technovation Girls Minnesota free, accessible, and growing — because we believe every girl in this state deserves the chance to build with technology, regardless of her zip code or background. Since 2014, we've reached over 2,000 girls across Minnesota. Help us reach the next 2,000. If you've been meaning to give — now's the moment. Share this with someone who believes in the power of young women in tech. 👉 Last chance to donate: https://buff.ly/e6Qmkzp Thank you for building with us.

Girls Who Code Clubs are: ✔️ Free for grades 3–12 ✔️ Flexible and beginner-friendly ✔️ Supported with curriculum and facilitator resources ✔️ Designed to help students grow their skills and confidence We’re proud to keep expanding access to inclusive computer science opportunities in Minnesota 💜 Start a Club today and affiliate with Code Savvy when you apply to qualify for bonus swag: 👉 https://buff.ly/pHWK6ZF #GirlsWhoCode #CodeSavvy #CSforAll #GirlsInSTEM #MinnesotaEducation #STEMEducation #InclusiveEducation

We're in the final stretch of our May fundraising campaign — and we'd love your support before the month is out. National Inventors Month is almost over, but the work of building the next generation of tech innovators doesn't stop. Technovation Girls Minnesota has reached over 2,000 girls across the state since 2014, and we're not done yet. Every girl who comes through this program gets something powerful: the knowledge that she can look at a problem in her community and build a solution for it. That she's not just a user of technology — she's a creator of it. That's what your gift makes possible. Any amount helps. 👉 Donate before May 31: https://buff.ly/e6Qmkzp #TechnovationGirlsMN #BuildBrave #ItsTimeToBuild #CodeSavvy #GirlsInTech
