  Q&A: Microsoft Expands DigiGirlz Summer Camp
Time: 10:49 EST/15:49 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

The words “girls” and “technology” don't seem as natural a fit as they should, which is unfortunate, from Microsoft's perspective. To help remedy that problem, the company supports initiatives and programs developed to attract and retain top female talent. One of those programs, DigiGirlz – organized as a summer camp with a focus on technology and now in its sixth year – has expanded to four states and the Redmond camp expanded from four days to five.

To learn more about DigiGirlz, as well as the current environment for women in the technology industry and Microsoft’s commitment to diversity in general, PressPass spoke with Emily McKeon, diversity consultant at Microsoft; Thanh-Truc Ngo, who will enter the University of Washington this year, and Kara Fong, who will be a senior at Ingraham High School in Seattle. The latter two attended the DigiGirlz camp in summer 2005 at Microsoft’s headquarters in Redmond, and are both doing 10-week internships at the company this summer.
