Good Morning Family,
(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)
It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again (smile)
Got this the other day from a BDPA Yahoogroup (see original message below). The summer will be here before you know it.
For those that don't know the BDPA or Black Data Processors Association (see
www.bdpa.org) is the nation's oldest and largest Black technical organization. Founded in 1975 they have grown to over 30,000 members with local chapters in every major urban center.
The crown jewel of the BDPA is their national High School Computer Competition (see http://www.bdpa.org/portal/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=92&Itemid=319). Every chapter fields a team of youngsters who compete for national recognition and prizes. These kids are something to see...smile
The BDPA is always putting out positive and empowering information. You can
find a local chapter near you by visiting their website at www.BDPA.org
Remember we must Share The knowledge (Network)... To Share The Dollars!
Peace and Gods Blessings,
Jim Neusom

Greetings,
I'm Henri Covington, a long lost BDPA LA member. I'm forwarding some hopefully useful information to aid our young girls. Please share this at a meeting and how ever else you deem worthy.
Microsoft is once again requesting our assistance in getting young women to apply for their DigiGirlz Summer Camps. Camps will be held this year in the following eight locations:
Charlotte, NC
Chicago, IL
Fargo, ND
Irvine, CA
Las Colinas, TX
Redmond, WA (corporate)
Stony Brook, NY
Washington, DC
We are now accepting applications to Microsoft's DigiGirlz High Tech Camps. We are requesting your assistance in promoting this learning opportunity for high school girls. The camp was developed to provide girls with a better understanding of what a career in technology is all about. This exciting three to five day experience provides opportunities to learn about careers in technology, talk with Microsoft employees about their life experiences, and enjoy hands-on computer and technology workshops.
What Participants Can Expect
? Hands-on learning sessions to educate
? Keynote Speaker series to inspire
? Car eer/technology tours to heighten awareness
? Resume and interview workshops to prepare
? Employee panels to answer questions
Application Details
To apply, girls need to complete the online application form which is available at:
https://www.microsoft.com/about/diversity/programs/camps.mspx
In addition to providing contact information, the girls will be asked to answer two essay questions. After being selected into the program, they will receive a packet of information with additional forms for completion. They will also be asked to submit a letter of recommendation from a teacher or counselor. The documents must be completed and returned in order to be fully registered for the camp.
Girls must currently be in 9th?12th grade to be eligible. This camp is free of charge to participants.
Visit https://www.microsoft.com/about/diversity/programs/camps.mspx for more information.
Sincerely,
Henri
