الاء فطاير هي احدى خريجات برامجنا المميزات من برنامج تيك وومان 2014 في أمريكا. عندما عادت من امريكا ارادت ان تنظم أول مسابقة Technovation

وهي مسابقة تكنولوجية للفتيات عمرهن ما بين 10-18 عام. ساعدت القنصلية الامريكية ألاء ودعمت جهودها وبالفعل استطاعت ان تنظم اول نسخة فلسطينية لمسابقة Technovation في شهر أيار.
تتضمن هذه المسابقة تحديد مشكلة وتصميم تطبيق لايجاد الحل. شاهدوا احد الفيديوهات التي تظهر الفريق الذي فاز عن طريق تصميم تطبيق WithYou يساعد المرضى.




Alaa’ Fatayer is one of our remarkable alumna of 2014 Techwomen Program in the U.S. Upon her return from America, she wanted to organize the first local technovation competition, a tech competition for girls aged between 10-18. The U.S. Consulate supported Alaa’s efforts and she was able to organize the first ever Palestinian version of technovation in May.
The competition involves identifying a problem and creating an app to solve it. Check out one of the demo videos that shows the winning team pitching their idea of an app WithYou that
