NCWIT is pleased to announce that the Aspirations in Computing (AiC) High School Award is now accepting high school students' applications through October 28, 2025!

Educators, counselors, after-school mentors, and school administrators play an invaluable role in encouraging students to pursue their interests in computing and technology.

There are HS award designations for ALL levels of technical ability, including students with little to no experience. 

The AiC HS Award honors students for their computing-related achievements and interests and encourages them to pursue their passions.
