North and South Dakota Affiliate

Welcome to NCWIT's Aspirations in Computing - North & South Dakota Affiliate!

NDIT-EduTech is proud to host the Award for Aspirations in Computing for North and South Dakota!

Each Fall, students in North and South Dakota have the opportunity to apply to become a recipient of this award for their aptitude and interest in IT, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, and other computing areas, leadership abilities, academic accolades, and plans for post-secondary education.  Awardees are invited to a virtual awards banquet held each Spring with family, friends, peers and teachers.

The 2025 Aspirations Awards banquet was held on March 26, 2025, where we honored all Winners, Honorable Mention, and Rising Star recipients.  We also honored the NCWIT ND/SD Educator Award winner.  Here is the recording to watch the awards banquet and see all of our amazing awardees.
