Since its inception in 2000, Microsoft’s DigiGirlz Technology Programs have provided free technology education and interactive experiences to thousands of young women around the world.

The DigiGirlz Programs began with a high-tech camp facilitated at Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, WA in 2000 with 35 students, and is continually expanding into other geographies. For example, in 2010, the DigiGirlz camps were held in nine U.S. locations (Charlotte, Fargo, Irving/Las Colinas, Redmond, Philadelphia, San Diego, St. Louis, Stony Brook, and Washington, DC) and international camps were held in locations such as China and Sweden. One-day events are also part of the overall program. In 2010 33 one-day events were held globally, from Waltham, MA to Warszawa, Poland. One-day events were also held in international locations such as El Salvador, Puerto Rico, Dubai, Johannesburg, Moscow, Bucharest, Copenhagen, and Kualua Lumpur, as well as additional U.S. locations.
