This blog told you about the
NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing a few months ago. This is an award that honors young women at the high-school level for their computing-related achievements and interests.
Awardees are selected for their computing and IT aptitude, leadership ability, academic history, and plans for post-secondary education. The
NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing offers both a national and local "affiliate" competitions (including
statewide in Ohio) to generate support and visibility for women participation in communities nationwide.
I ended
that blog post with a simple question, "
Will we have any BDPA student members applying for this award this year?"
The answer came from a young lady named
Brandee Lyles. She was a member of the
BDPA Columbus national team at the 2010 High School Computer Competition (HSCC).
Brandee is one of just 10 young women selected for the NCWIT Award from the state of Ohio. All of BDPA-nation will be cheering her on April 2 in Columbus, Ohio when she will be honored for her remarkable technology talents.
Congratulations Brandee!
