Mircosoft Helps Local Girls Get Digital

    Teresa Lin spent part of her summer vacation from Skyline High School making an informational podcast about teen sleep deprivation. The activity taught her about technology as well as teamwork. She was one of nearly 100 high school girls to attend the eighth annual Microsoft DigiGirlz High Technology Camp, which took place from Aug. 11-15 at the company’s Redmond campus.

    Teresa, a 16-year-old Sammamish resident, worked with a team of girls to do Internet research, record sound with headsets and microphones, edit the recording with the computer program Audacity and then convert the finished piece to an MP3 file.
