Free Microsoft DigiGirlz Summer Camps

By Aurelia | February 8, 2008

Hi there,

I wanted to share with you this great information that I found regarding free Microsoft’s DigiGirlz High Tech Summer Camps.

Camps will be held this year in the following eight locations:
Charlotte, NC
Chicago, ILL
Fargo, ND
Irvine, CA
Las Colinas, TX
Redmond, WA (corporate)
Stony Brook, NY
Washington, DC

The camp was developed to provide girls with a better understanding of what a career in technology is all about. This exciting three to five day experience provides opportunities to learn about careers in technology, talk with Microsoft employees about their life experiences, and enjoy hands-on computer and technology workshops.

What Participants Can Expect

*Hands-on learning sessions to educate
*Keynote Speaker series to inspire
*Career/technology tours to heighten awareness
*Resume and interview workshops to prepare
*Employee panels to answer questions

To apply, girls need to complete the online application form which is available HERE:

In addition to providing contact information, the girls will be asked to answer two essay questions. After being selected into the program, they will receive a packet of information with additional forms for completion. They will also be asked to submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor. The documents must be completed and returned in order to be fully registered for the camp. Girls must currently be in 9th—12th grade to be eligible. This camp is free of charge to participants.

Take Care and Good luck,

null
