"Not only has Microsoft recognized the fact that most workers in the science and technology field are comprised of men, but they are making efforts to change that with their new DigiGirlz program.
DigiGirlz is a week long program, hosted worldwide, designed specifically for the purpose of giving high school girls the chance to learn about jobs in the technology industry. Not only that, but they will have an opportunity to meet with Microsoft employees and participate in technology workshops."

The whole premise is to attract girlz to a traditionally male field.

Presuming you stand up to pee - you are already are one of the digiboyz - minus the special attention and a hipster / geek chic ken doll ;)
