Organization Information
Mission Statement
NCWIT convenes, equips, and unites more than 1,500 change leader organizations nationwide to increase the influential and meaningful participation of girls and women -- at the intersections of race/ethnicity, class, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, and other historically marginalized identities -- in the field of computing, particularly in terms of innovation and development.
Description
NCWIT Aspirations in Computing (AiC) changes what’s possible for women, genderqueer, and non-binary students 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 uses program elements that recognize and celebrate students' technical aspirations and abilities, as well as the educators who support them (AiC Award Recognitions); and, provides an expansive, supportive network to help these computing students persist in the field (AiC Community).
AiC serves 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, all U.S. military bases overseas, and Canada.
