FARMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS RECEIVE\u00a0 <\/b>2024 NCWIT ASPIRATIONS IN COMPUTING AWARDS<\/b><\/p>\n

Twenty-Four FHS students were selected from more than 3,300 applicants from the United States and Canada. According to NCWIT, the Award for Aspirations in Computing (AiC) honors 9<\/span>th<\/span>-12<\/span>th<\/span> grade women, genderqueer, and non-binary students for their computing-related achievements and interests, and encourages them to pursue their passions. Award recipients are selected based on 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.\u00a0 Three FHS students were recognized at the National level as Honorable Mentions.\u00a0 <\/span>Awardees were honored at an AiC Award Celebration on Monday April 15th at the Travelers Connecticut Headquarters in Hartford, CT (See <\/span><\/i>https:\/\/www.aspirations.org\/affiliate\/connecticut<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each recipient will receive recognition and prizes, induction into a community of over 15,000 technical women, access to resources and scholarships and internship opportunities.\u00a0 \u201c<\/span>Encouraging students who have historically been underrepresented in technology fields is critical. Computing underlies an increasing number of the products and systems we use every day, and to ensure they are beneficial to the broadest group of people possible, a diverse group of people must dream them and then create them<\/span><\/i>,\u201d said NCWIT CEO and Executive Director Terry Hogan.<\/span><\/p>\n
