Looking for female students in B.C., ages 13 to 18, with a creative idea about how to use the Internet to improve education, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, retail, transportation, or smart cities.
BC Hydro executives are offering their time to mentor and champion talented B.C. students – either individuals or teams – interested in taking part in theIoT World Forum Young Women's Innovation Grand Challenge. The goal of the contest, which features a grand prize of $20,000 and secondary prizes of $10,000 and $5,000, is to boost the number of women across the world pursuing careers in technology.
Here's how we can help.
BC Hydro School Programs will match up BC Hydro executives with B.C. students as they work on and complete their submissions to the contest, which closes on May 18, 2015. So if you have students in your school interested in participating in the contest, please email Roberta Nouari.
For details of contest rules and prizing, see the IoT World Forum Young Women's Innovation Grand Challenge website. The forum and award ceremony is being held this year in Dubai, and shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend. |
