On Saturday, the City of Redmond’s 4th annual Girls Unlimited event featured professional women from the tech industry, who shared their stories about their career paths.
There were speakers and activity tables from Microsoft Corp., University of Washington, Expedia, DigiPen Institute of Technology and Swerve Robotics as well as private app developers who work from home. More than 60 female teens attended, asking questions and participating in activities around tech-focused fields.
“I wish we could ask more questions,” one attendee said. “I really liked it (and) wanted more time for activities.”

The speakers said it was great to see so many girls who are interested in technology fields and there needs to be more events like Girls Unlimited. They also said the girls had great questions.
“This is our fourth year for this event and we have kept the participation small so that participants can ask the questions in an intimate setting,” said Ken Wong, teen programs administrator. “Everyone enjoyed some part of the event and it was a great opportunity for women in tech fields to give back.”
