Episode 2 of The Builder's Room started at the chip and worked its way up.

Natalia Vassilieva, VP and Field CTO at Cerebras, joined our Technovation Alumnae and Women Techmakers community for a conversation most AI panels never get to: what the gap between research and production really looks like from inside.

Now, the next episode is here.

Tomorrow, we're sitting down with Eric Ries who famously coined "vanity metrics" and spent two decades studying why organizations drift from their missions. His new book, Incorruptible, is the culmination of that research. Tara Chklovski will lead the first half, then Eric joins live for an open-floor conversation with our community.

Have you picked up Eric Ries’ new book, Incorruptible?

We’re reading along before our next Builder’s Room. The book looks at why organizations drift from their purpose and what leaders can do to stay true to what they set out to build.

We want to bring our community into the conversation before Eric even joins us.
📖 Pick up Incorruptible wherever you get your books.
📸 Tag us in your book selfie.
💬 Drop a question you want us to ask Eric.

Then join us live on August 19, when Technovation founder Tara Chklovski sits down with Eric and opens the conversation to the community.

You’ve probably heard Eric Ries’s ideas before.

He coined the term “vanity metrics.” His work helped change how founders think about testing ideas, learning from feedback, and measuring what actually matters.

Now, in his new book Incorruptible, he’s asking a bigger question: How do organizations stay true to their purpose as they grow? 🤔

It’s a question for founders. Leaders. Nonprofits. Anyone trying to build something that lasts.

On August 19, Eric joins Technovation founder Tara Chklovski for The Builder’s Room to talk about what he’s learned from two decades of studying organizations, innovation, and mission.

And you get a seat in the conversation.

A Technovation alumna interviewing one of the most influential AI researchers in the world. That's what happened in the latest episode of The Builder's Room.

Yolanda Gil, 24th President of AAAI and director of USC's Center on AI for Health, sat down with Technovation alumna Nazeli Ter-Petrosyan to talk about what makes AI trustworthy, how to build a career that survives every hype cycle, and the questions she asks before trusting any new AI system.

If you've ever wondered how to tell good AI from bad AI, this hour is worth your time.

Ten years ago, funders told our founder that teaching kids AI was "mission creep." She kept going. This week, Inc. told the story of what that decision became.

Here's the part for the teachers in our community. Tara shared that student attention has changed in real, observable ways. Longer activities lose kids faster unless the work is interactive and connected to their lives. If you've seen that in your classroom, you're not imagining it. We build our programs around it.

Meet the winners of the 2026 Global Ambassador Leadership Award. Club and Chapter Ambassadors run Technovation Girls where they live. They recruit mentors, open doors, and keep programs going when it would be easier not to.

Four of them set the standard this season:
🏆 Aleksandra Ahmedova, Chapter Ambassador, Turkmenistan: Partnerships Award
🏆 Ebere Chiemela, Chapter Ambassador, Nigeria: Collaboration Award
🏆 Hanaa Omran, Chapter Ambassador, State of Palestine: Underserved Communities Award
🏆 Dilfuza Tursunbekova, Club Ambassador, Kyrgyzstan: Innovation Award

If one of these leaders opened a door for you or your community, tell them in the comments. Recognition travels farthest when it comes from the people who saw the work up close.

The 2026 Technovation Girls finalists are live on the blog.

Of every team that entered this season, these are the ones still standing. Each built a working solution to a real problem in their community, and in October they'll bring it to our World Summit to compete for the top spots. This is the final stretch, and it deserves to be celebrated loudly.

Go see who made it, and tag a team or volunteer you're especially proud of this season.

Impact Hub Caracas, home to our Venezuelan chapter, is recovering from severe earthquake damage to their building. At the same time, their team is out delivering water and supplies to families and businesses in their community.

Even so, the Impact Hub Caracas team has been out every day since, bringing water and supplies to families and businesses in their community.

We're heartbroken to share that Antonella Loera, a Technovation alumna, passed away in the earthquakes.

If you're able to give, their recovery campaign is live and every contribution helps:
