NCWIT - National Center for Women & Information Technology
The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) is the farthest-reaching network of change leaders focused on advancing innovation by correcting underrepresentation in computing. Powered by the latest social science research, this network works to increase the meaningful and influential participation of all women, genderqueer, and non-binary individuals in computing—at the intersections of race/ethnicity, class, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, and other historically marginalized identities—from K-12 through career.

NCWIT Aspirations in Computing (AiC)
The AiC program changes what’s possible for women, genderqueer, and non-binary individuals in technology from K-12 through career by offering the kind of encouragement that combats isolation, enables long-term persistence, opens doors, and changes lives.
AiC Award Recognitions offer three distinct awards that honor aspirations, abilities, technical accomplishments, and influential guidance. The following groups can apply:
9th-12th grade women, genderqueer, or non-binary students
women, genderqueer, or non-binary students who are enrolled in a post-secondary institution (community college, college, or university) with a major or minor in a computing or engineering discipline
Formal and informal 9th-12th grade educators
