Each year, NCWIT (National Center for Women & Information Technology) recognizes young women across the US for their interest and participation in computing. Last year, the national winner was one of Lauren Bricker’s students from Lakeside! We also had several runner-ups from the Puget Sound area. Let’s make sure our outstanding Puget Sound girls are recognized again this year!
The award application opens September 15th and will close October 31st. Please encourage your students to apply. The big new thing this year is that there will be a local competition for Washington state. This means that more students around the area will win great prizes including laptops, scholarships and cash.
To promote the award, NCWIT has provided a small poster you can print yourself and an information sheet. You can also request a full-size poster by mail here.
