Five and a half years since her first trip to Sierra Leone, Terri is excited to serve as a Cultural Mentor for the 2015 program.
At the end of 2016, Eva Sherwood joined the NZTech board and became the chair of TechWomen.
Last, Eileen delivered an ideation training to girls from the Technovation program that was organized by Elena alongside 2016 fellows of Uzbekistan Saida Yusupova and Ozoda Ismailova.
Eileen invited 2016 fellow of Uzbekistan Elena Selezneva to support her with the training, collaborating to deliver workshops on entrepreneurship, design thinking, Lean Canvas and pitching.
A pilot programme was established by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and the Ministry for Women in 2017.
