The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing builds a talent pool for the growing technical workforce and helps academic and corporate organizations celebrate diversity in

computing by honoring young women at the high-school level for their computing-related achievements and interests. Award recipients are selected based on their

aptitude and aspirations in technology and computing; leadership ability; academic history; and plans for post-secondary education.

The Aspirations in Computing Educator Award identifies outstanding educators who play a pivotal role in encouraging young women to explore their interest in computing and technology, and recognizes these educators for their efforts to promote gender equity in computing. Over the past four years, more than 160 educators have been recognized and have received more than $150,000 in professional development funding to improve their computing education skills.
