NCWIT Awards for Aspiration in Computing
Congratulations to Caroline P. '22 and Trisha S. '23 on receiving NCWIT Awards for Aspirations in Computing! Aspirations in Computing is an initiative created for women in grades 9 through 12 by the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) that serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and U.S. military bases overseas. It is a welcoming and supportive community that encourages interest, training, and careers in computer science. Way to go, Caroline and Trisha!
"The award is important to me because it provides me new opportunities in STEM through different workshops, seminars, and a summer internship. It also recognizes my continuous love and dedication to computer science." - Caroline
"It's such an honor to receive the national certificate of distinction from AiC and have the chance to see the accomplishments of my fellow women in STEM. Achieving this award drives me to continue pursuing my passion for computing, and serves as an inspiration for how I can use technology to better my community." - Trisha

MS science students collaborated on a climate change research project earlier this year. Their teacher, Ms. Alexander, created a scenario for her students that opened up opportunities for deep conversations about climate justice and helped them understand the complicated nature of negotiating resolutions while also internalizing the need for immediate action to mitigate its impact.

This year, the Breck Math League Team took second in Class 1A at the 2021 Minnesota State High School Mathematics League State Tournament. In a year of virtual practices, meets, and tournaments that literally crossed the International Date Line, the team stuck together and retained their second-place standing for a second year.
