This week, teams of girls and young women all over the world are discovering how they did in the Technovation competition. Freely available worldwide, the competition challenges girls to solve a problem in their community using technology. This year alone, more than 600 FactSetters worldwide volunteered as judges to give the girls empowering feedback to enhance their ideas. Here at FactSet, we value tenacity. We strive to learn and do better every day, helping our clients, communities, and each other grow. Tenacity is a superpower! So, no matter where each team is placed, we are proud of the girls' tenacity to learn and grow through technology education!
