DigiGirlz Days are scheduled
The DigiGirlz Days schedule is out (actually I got a sneak peak - thanks Diane) and there are more of them in more places than ever before. What is a DigiGirlz Day?
During the event, students interact with Microsoft employees and managers to gain exposure to careers in business and technology and to get an inside look at what it's like to work at Microsoft. This exciting event provides girls with career planning assistance, information about technology and business roles, thought-provoking exercises, and interesting Microsoft product demonstrations. By participating in the Microsoft DigiGirlz Day, young women can find out about the variety of opportunities available in the high-tech industry and can explore future career paths.
The main DigiGirlz site also includes information about week long summer programs although that schedule for this coming summer is not out yet. I'll post news here when it becomes available. Or bookmark the Digigirlz site and keep tabs on it yourself.
And don't miss looking at Logan Olson's Video Story. Logan is a former DigiGirl who created Logan Magazine - "Fashion and lifestyle for young people with disabilities." It's an inspiring story of a young woman who is using technology to accomplish her dreams.
Below is the list of dates and locations as I know them today. Look for more information on the ones in the UK and India in the near future.
