Technovation is a program to get girls to get interested in technology. Small groups design an app to solve a problem in your community for a cash prize. You also make a pitch video for the judges and type up some descriptions too. This is a great program that taught me much!

What is the meaning of technovation?
Technical Innovation. This means developing new ideas, products, services, and processes which exploit technology. It may be driven by a new technology (How can we use this?) or by needs (What technology might we apply to improve this?). At its best, technovation creates valuable products and services no one has yet asked for or creates "disruptive" change (major leaps in the way things are done). Two examples: When A. G. Bell invented the telephone he took it to Western Union (who already owned a network of wires). They turned him down, explaining their operators could key dots and dashes faster than they could talk so this "telephone" technovation was pointless. A century later, no one asked for a phone that was smart. But Apple created one anyway. Again, creating a disruptive change.
What is technovation process?
The technovation process refers to the systematic approach of developing and implementing innovative technological solutions to address specific challenges or needs. It typically involves stages such as ideation, research and development, prototyping, testing, and commercialization. This process encourages collaboration among various stakeholders, including entrepreneurs, engineers, and researchers, to foster creativity and bring new ideas to market. Ultimately, it aims to enhance efficiency, improve user experiences, and drive economic growth through technological advancement.
How do we Secure the Future of our Car and Environment?
Cars have become an integral part of our lives. Millions of us are heavily dependent on our cars, practically and emotionally. The car industry is growing at an unprecedented rate, with thousands of new cars being added daily to the roads. There are also vehicles which are reaching the end of their useful lives and are taken out of service every year. No need to say, there is a huge environmental impact of such large number of vehicles both on the roads and in waste streams.Even though this form of mobility comes at a premium, as polar ice melts, megacities become suffocated by smog and congestion, and our mobility has negative implications - we need to be mobile. Having a car is a very liberating and flexible means of transportation and we need it.If done right, cars can be a sustainable and safe means of transportation. We all can do our bit in reducing our carbon footprint and there are lots of ways to do so.Electric and hybrid carsElectric cars are the future and we are progressing towards a future car revolution where cars will not only be environmentally friendly but also autonomous. Companies are working on concepts allowing cars to cruise along on the highway without driver intervention. Then we are already seeing positive results from Tesla Model S which is smoke free and can parallel park itself. Then are also projects for Traffic Jams under development, where cars will move along in a congested traffic area like pearls on a string along the highway - turning the commute more productive as drivers can work or rest.Though these cars cost premium right now, they do come with great tax benefits and project you as an early adopter of new revolution and environmentally conscious person. There is also an option to opt for hybrid vehicles which give good mileage and consume less fuel. Look for great condition hybrid cars to buy and start a constructive community dialogue on Electric and Hybrid cars at Buynuse.com, An Aarya technovation ventureEco friendly car wash and productsCar owners can also contribute their bit to the environment by washing their cars at home, using eco-friendly car products or opting for eco-friendly car washes.Unlike household waste water that enters sewers and undergoes treatment before it is discharged into the environment, what runs off from your car goes right into storm drains - and eventually into rivers and streams where it poisons aquatic life. The water being loaded with oil and residues from exhaust fumes creates ecosystem havoc.It is best to wash your car with a biodegradable soap and keep the environment clean at the same time. Got an environmental question? You can create an environmentally friendly carwash community at Buynuse.comand connect with like-minded people to find out more about superior, environmentally-safe cleaning products.Regular car checks and servicePerform regular checks and maintenance on your car. This not only keeps your car in a good shape but also reduces damage to the environment. Regular air filter change makes air conditioning work at optimal level, wheel alignment check helps you be safe on road, and recommended car tyre inflation pressure decreases both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. There are tyre pressure monitoring systems available which make it easy to keep track of tyre pressure.One of the easiest ways to keep the pollution level under control is through regular emissions testing. A vehicle's engine constantly releases automotive pollutants into the air, including hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, etc. The heavy release of these elements creates an adverse effect on the environment and consequently on our health. Thus, it is vital that a vehicle's emissions remain within the prescribed upper limits set by the country's emissions standards.Also, simple things such as switching off engine when waiting for passengers, and not needlessly burning fuel at drive-through can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The fact is that letting your engine idle for more than 10 seconds consumes more fuel than turning it off and starting it up again!Car PoolingCarpooling is a great way to be responsible for the environment and at the same time save some money. At Buynuse.com, you can use your social networks to enable real life connections and you can carpool/rideshare with others you trust.

To many of us, they are beloved, person-like companions. However, it is not eco-friendly and economical to keep a car which you longer need.When your vehicle is no longer serving its purpose, you may consider selling your car.

Answers with Lesley Chilcott?
Why is "A Small Section of the World" a must-see for both men and women?I am glad that this question exists because reading that the film is about women's empowerment, it may not come to mind for men to jump in and to see this film. But from screening this film in Costa Rica and many places in the US, and even Dubai now, men are just as moved by women when they see this film. When I was trying to come up with a title, we were joking around and someone said "Are you going to call it #WomenWhoHateMen?" And I said no, because almost all of the men that initially left the village in ASOMOBI have come back and they are now very much a part of the association. The whole community has changed and grown because the ASOMOBI women built their micro mill on top of the hill and started buying coffee from all the local farmers in the film, so men seem to be equally affected and inspired by the film.
