After a year of training and hard work, a team of five girls from the DGS Programming Team was selected as one of the 12 world finalists in the Technovation Challenge, a worldwide competition that encourages girls to identify a problem within their community and to address it by creating a mobile app and implementing a business plan.

The girls were invited to travel to Google's main campus at Mountain View in Silicon Valley, California, to pitch their app for the Grand Prize award during the week of 7^th to 11^th August 2017. Finally, their app Dementia Care Companion (DCC), an app which helps dementia patients and their family members, won the Grand Prize in the Junior Division. The girls were awarded gold medals and US $10,000 scholarship. We praise God for the talents and achievements He has bestowed upon our School.
