Empowering the Next Generation in Technology
Technology careers continue to grow across every industry, yet many female students still do not see themselves represented in the world of IT. Digital Divas is a completely free, high impact program designed to change that by giving female students meaningful exposure to technology careers and the professionals who shape them.
Hosted at Gillette Stadium on March 3, 2026, this full day experience brings students together with IT leaders, educators, and industry partners for immersive breakout sessions, hands on demonstrations, and interactive challenges across cybersecurity, cloud engineering, AI, data, and creative technology roles.
This event is an investment to our future to ensure equitable access. There is no cost to districts or students to participate.

Past Digital Divas Technology Bootcamps
“The Digital Divas Technology Bootcamp, presented by Blue Mantis, was created to give young women at PSHS a meaningful look into the fast-growing world of technology. A team of women from Blue Mantis — an IT solutions provider based in Portsmouth, NH — led the event to inspire students to consider careers in tech.
Thirty students from Plymouth North and Plymouth South participated in this one day, in-house field trip, completing hands on projects like connecting a switch, firewall, and access point, and programming the devices for a wireless network. Industry professionals from Blue Mantis, Milton CAT, Climb Channel Solutions, and Fortinet supported students as they problem solved in real time.
Presenters highlighted a wide range of IT career paths, from project management to channel management to presales engineering, and reinforced that opportunities in technology are accessible to all students regardless of their academic track. Students were energized by the experience and raved about the day, and the school’s staff shared that they were impressed by the program and excited for the next one.”
