DigiGirlz Testimonials
Here is what some DigiGirlz had to say about their past experiences at the camp:

"From the first day, I was blown away from the support that everyone gave at Microsoft and how much everyone truly wanted us to be there. Even in the short time I was at Microsoft I learned so much about technology, but more about how people can achieve professions that they love and enjoy. Everyone's enthusiasm about their professions inspired me to find what I love and pursue it. Not only in technology, but in life."

"I am now much, much more interested in technology-related careers. They are so much fun."

"I thought you had to be a geek to work here, but this camp changed my mind."
