About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

This innovation is crucial because it addresses a significant barrier faced by young women in underserved regions—**lack of access to technology**. Without reliable laptops, many girls in engineering colleges cannot fully participate in education, mentorship programs, or internships, which are essential for skill development and securing jobs in the tech industry.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Our innovation provides **refurbished laptops** to underserved engineering students, particularly girls in tier-two and remote areas, empowering them to access essential learning resources. Many of these students face barriers due to lack of technology, preventing them from participating in mentorship programs, internships, and online learning. By offering laptops, we bridge the **digital divide**, enabling them to engage in **virtual mentorship**, **skill-building**, and **internships** that help build employability. This initiative creates **gender equity** in tech by giving young women the tools to succeed, develop real-world experience, and secure jobs. It’s a sustainable, scalable solution that transforms education and career opportunities for girls in engineering, ensuring they have equal chances for success and contributing to a more inclusive tech industry.
