>> From Santa Clara, California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, it's theCUBE covering Technovation's World Pitch 2018. Now, here's Sonia Tagare. >> Hi, welcome back. I'm Sonia Tagare here with theCUBE in Santa Clara, California covering Technovation's World Pitch Summit 2018. A pitch competition in which girls develop apps in order to create positive change in the world. This week 12 finalist teams are competing for their chance to win the coveted gold or silver scholarships. With us today from Mexico we have Edutec and they're consisted of Miriam, Angelica, Luna, and Medina. We have then Luzdhy Huerta and Citalli Ruiz Puga, Ivana Michelle Orozco Lopez, Cesar Valdez, Consuelo Sarahi Checa Navarro, and Vanessa Dinorah Perez Ramirez. Congratulations and welcome to theCUBE. >> Thank you. >> So your app, Care For Me, tell us more about that. >> Who wants to tell? Well, this application, Care For Me, is an app that is focused on the caregiver of a patient with Alzheimer. That normally turns out one person in the family. So during the process of the Alzheimer disease, it's a very difficult situation for all the family. But when they developed the application, they started thinking of the caregiver because sometimes they lost in all the disease. So they developed the application so the caregiver has more support and tools in order to provide very good care for the patient, and as well for themselves. >> And what was the inspiration to create this app? >> Somebody wants to answer that? What is the inspiration? >> My teammate Tivana had a grandma who suffered this disease, so we inspire in this case. >> Well, that's wonderful that you're doing that, and I'm sure it's going to help a lot of people. So what made you join Technovation? (speaks in foreign language) >> Let me just translate it? >> Sure. >> They knew about Technovation because an invitation from the university that we all belong that is (speaks in foreign language). And they mentioned that there were some courses about technology, especially for the science mobile application. (speaks in foreign language) >> Then they mentioned when the course was starting, they informed what is Technovation about, and they know that they have to develop an application with a social impact, so they have to attack some problematic they see in their communities. And then they get very excited to help people, to help another. And at that time, that's where they knew each other because they didn't previously know each other before the competition. >> So how did you all meet? And how did you decide to make this team? (speaks in foreign language) >> So the course is offered by the University of Guadalajara. We offer app inventor and marketing, we brought some experts after some courses. Roughly December, the girls all got together, they didn't know each other, and they decided to form a team, and we're here now, right? (laughs) >> And what are you most excited about for this competition? (speaks in foreign language) (speaks in foreign language) >> She's saying that... Sorry. She's saying that the most exciting about all this and working together is about the opportunity to help other people, and have an impact, and that's why they enjoy working together. >> That's so inspiring. So how do you think Technovation is helping the larger girls in tech conversation? (speaks in foreign language) (speaks in foreign language) >> She's saying that the most impact that they have about these kind of programs is about getting all the fears that you think you have that may be stopping from doing something, so you have to believe that you can to solve all these fears. >> That's awesome. (laughs) So who do you think is the team to beat? Who's the competition? (speaks in foreign language) (speaks in foreign language) >> I think the focus of Technovation is to not pit girls against each other, but to work on themselves and on their project, and hope for the best, I guess. (laughs) >> That's a wonderful perspective to have on this. I want to thank you all so much for being on theCUBE, and congratulations on becoming a finalist, and good luck on your pitch tomorrow. >> Thank you. >> We're here at Technovation's World Pitch Summit 2018 here in Santa Clara, California. Stay tuned for more. (upbeat music)
