Written by: Libby on April 12, 2024

In our previous blog, we discussed the benefits of InnovateHer’s classroom activities, so today, we want to spotlight InnovateHer Online and why it’s a classroom necessity.

InnovateHer Online aims to provide more young girls and non-binary teens from ages 13-17 with the opportunity to learn and advance their Tech learning for free. So students can find excitement and inspiration and see Tech as a career path for them.

Learning is constantly changing and evolving. InnovateHer Online acknowledges that and has been built. Hence, it’s as flexible as possible for your students- students can participate during lessons, as homework or in an after-school/lunch club. You can also rest assured that content on InnovateHer Online is curriculum-linked, as we have carried out thorough research to ensure it links to your curriculum and hits Gatsby benchmarks.

So, what does InnovateHer Online provide?

Courses- Key Classroom Necessity

A big reason why InnovateHer Online is a classroom necessity is due to the courses it provides.

Courses that cover topics in Tech such as:

These courses vary in run time- from 45 minutes (Coding) to 6 weeks (UX- Tech4Good).

They have all been designed to be self-learner-led, making the set-up and running as easy for you as possible.

The courses will introduce and develop tech skills to your students. Also, providing them the opportunity to develop skills such as teamwork and creativity, through our Tech4Good UX Design as an example.

We see our courses as a classroom necessity, but we also accommodate and have different learning opportunities on InnovateHer Online.
