Join us for our annual all-women's
​programming event!
February 5, 2022
Due to the surge in COVID with the omicron variant, we will be moving the digital divas competition to virtual in order to protect everyone involved.
What is Digital Divas?

Digital Divas is an all girls high school computer programming competition with five divisions:
  • Never-Competed-Before Division - for girls with little-to-no programming experience
  • Novice Division - for girls with general experience in computer science
  • Advanced Division - for girls with greater programming experience
  • Non-competitive Division - for those who wish to attend workshop sessions to learn about coding
  • Middle School Division - a special non-competitive workshop for middle school students
​
​We seek to continue the tradition of introducing girls to computer science and promote the presence of women in the STEM work force. 

The top placing team of the Advanced Division will win
​a PAID summer internship at
Kalkomey Enterprises

"Each summer, Kalkomey provides a PAID summer internship opportunity for 3-4 aspiring technologists. This is not your “get coffee, drop off a package” internship. We put you together with a Senior Developer to build an actual project used by Kalkomey’s customers. You’ll experience what it’s like to work in a professional software organization. We work from beginning to end: product vision, design, architecture, development process, testing, deployment, and feedback. Our goal is to give you a taste of what building software in the real-world looks like. Some of our interns even become full-time employees!"
- Kevin Clark, VP of Technology, Kalkomey Enterprises
