    Hi Lauren,

    I thought you might be able to share this out with the PSCSTA mailing list for us?

    I'm reaching out on behalf of the National Center for Women & Information Technology: Seattle and Western Washington committee. We'd like to invite high school students who identify as women , genderqueer, or non-binary to apply for the Aspirations in Computing Award. If your students are interested, we are also providing an upcoming information session for students and their loved ones to learn more about the award and application process. Please share our message to students below! 

    Finally, educators, NCWIT also awards an educator award that you might be interested in! To learn about other awards like our educator and collegiate awards, click here. 

    Best,

    Jeremy on behalf of the NCWIT AiC Seattle & Western Washington Affiliate committee
