Events and IGNITE Programs
We hope that through our IGNITE Programs we can do our part to inspire a difference in the future outlook for girls interested in technology, science and engineering careers.
Chapter and Member School staff visit the website to find out what other IGNITE Chapters are doing successfully. They may be looking for ideas to build up their Chapter activities, discover what events are successful and get guidance on how to grow their Member School involvement and their programs.
The Presentation, Conference and Field Trip Reports listed on the Chapter pages on our website is a reflection of what they are doing! One of the requirements of becoming an IGNITE Chapter is to keep the content current and interactive with the Student Members, school staff and the volunteers.

DigiGirlz
DigiGirlzs Summer Camp, which takes place in August, introduces High School girls to the many career fields offered within the High Tech gaming industry. During the exciting five-day experience, DigiGirlzs have the opportunity to participate in a number of different opportunities including game testing, Microsoft Studio broadcasting, and product development and marketing.
Scholarships and Grants
One of IGNITE’s goals to help students find the money they need to get a college education. Over the last several years, we have put together links to college scholarship search and financial aid information resources on the Internet.
We want to assist students and their families in finding college scholarships and to help them explore a variety of valuable financial aid opportunities.
