September 2012 was an exciting moment for the girls from GIIS East Coast Campus, who were invited to participate in the 2nd Digigirlz event at Microsoft, Singapore. The purpose of this event was to encourage young girls to embrace technology and develop a love for computers. As an introduction, there was a briefing of the aim and working of Microsoft by the Asia Pacific Marketing Head, Mr Andrew Pickup. The tour of the Microsoft bureau was the highlight of the visit as the girls enjoyed playing with new unreleased gadgets that Microsoft had manufactured. Following this, the girls were given the opportunity to interact with the top female executives for an insight into the Imagine cup where students in university could present ideas to bring in new technology. The closing session of the day was an interactive talk with the network administrator about network security and social networking. It was indeed a wonderful opportunity to interact with many Technology experts which surely seemed to have changed the girls opinion about a career in the technology. The girls would surely treasure this amazing informative day. |
