The 2022 winners of the National Center for Women and Information Technology (NCWIT) Aspirations in Computing (AiC) awards have been announced, and several Littleton Public Schools students are recipients!

NCWIT recognizes students in Grades 9 through 12 who are women, genderqueer, or non-binary from all states and all US overseas military bases, for their aptitude and aspirations in technology and computing, as demonstrated by their computing experience, computing-related activities, leadership experience, tenacity in the face of barriers to access, and plans for post-secondary education (asiprations.org). Over 3,500 applications were submitted this year. 

All winners get scholarship and internship opportunities, automatic induction into the AiC Community (a national network of peers supported by professionals and volunteers), and various other prizes such as computing resources, gadgets, swag, and more.

LPS is so proud of these students for their hard work and much-deserved recognition!
