Our events are ideal for students aged 8-14.
DigiGirlz is a global program aimed at inspiring young girls to look into the opportunities available within the STEM industry. We do this by delivering several different events throughout the year. To keep up to date with all our events visit aka.ms/digigirlz.
Digital skills are becoming a part of the future and we wish to spark interest within all young people to take up STEAM subjects within their educational career.
Microsoft and Adobe have teamed up to launch "Mission Earth" that aims to give young people the opportunity to research, build and create sustainable living spaces using Minecraft and Adobe Spark! The sessions combine STEM with creativity and storytelling; during the webinar, students are developing a creative solution to address the real-world problem of sustainability. Learn more about “Mission Earth” below
With these sessions, we aim to:
• To raise awareness about the variety of career opportunities available within the technology industry
• To reach young people who are dedicated to inclusion, diversity and technology
• To spark interest by introducing young people to coding and computer science through hands-on STEM activities

Our sessions are aimed at all primary and secondary school students/children, or within the age range of 8-14. We have split the target audience so that the sessions alternate on a weekly basis, targeting only primary pupils in one session and secondary pupils in the other. This is to ensure that the pupils get the correct learning experience.
