The main team
Entrepreneur and engineer Taavi Kotka came up with the idea for the girls’ technology club after her daughter Helena was kicked out of the robotics club. As a result, an NGO was created in the fall of 2018, the goal of which is to promote and popularize technology education among girls.
In the beginning, the team consisted of only three members – Kerstin and Taavi, the founders and biggest supporters, and Liis, the board member and CEO. As the popularity of unicorns grew, Anu, the nest egg, joined, and Helen took over the communication issues. Marko also deals with logistics.
