Learning Journey
Learning Journey
Participating in Technovation Girls was an important experience. At the beginning, we didn't know much about developing an app, but throughout the project, we learned to organize ideas, research better, and work as a team. It was not always easy because doubts, fatigue, and disagreements appeared. However, we overcame them by talking and helping each other. We also balanced school responsibilities, which taught us discipline and organization. In the end, we trusted ourselves more and valued teamwork deeply every single day while growing stronger, more confident, creative, resilient students with shared goals for future success together, always there ahead now.
Information Legitimacy Description
Our team verified the legitimacy of the information by comparing different reliable sources, such as official websites, government data, and recognized organizations. We avoided using content without clear authorship or from dubious origins. Whenever possible, we confirmed the data through more than one source to ensure consistency and accuracy. We also searched for up-to-date information directly related to the project’s theme. Furthermore, we discussed the content as a group before including it, to make sure it was relevant, understandable, and trustworthy. This process helped us build a stronger project based on credible evidence and careful research.

When developing MS (My Support), ethics were mainly considered in ordem to guarantee to the user safety and privacy. The project avoids collecting personal data and does not require account registration, reducing the risk of exposure.
The platform works through a browser, without the need to download an app, which lowers the chances of being discovered by an abuser. Its name and design were also planned to be discreet.
In addition, the platform only provides reliable information and encourages users to seek help through official channels, such as the Women’s Support Hotline – 180 and the Military Police – 190, promoting responsible and safe support.
