NCWIT Aspirations in Computing Award 2018

@preciouscanoe that makes a LOT more sense. U probably got a local award, because if u win something bigger (like national or state runner up) they tell u in email.

@qbaswedg thank you!

Just got notified that I won an affiliate award in Massachusetts!

Anyone in Georgia hear anything about state award?
@qbaswedg any update?
Thanks.

did all winners get an email about an invitation to AspireIT?

@preciouscanoe Lol, I was wondering the same thing. Did the email mention something about leadership scores??? For a second, they had me feeling like I was special :frowning:

@palinoia HAHA SAME! Also, in the email I received about being a winner, it said I was a regional affiliate winner. However, isn’t there “winner” and “honorable mention?” Did they just say “winner” as in a general winner (winner or honorable mention) without explicitly stating what I got, or does it just mean winner? Sorry if this is confusing

@palinoia i got the email every year I applied, so I’m not 100% sure if they do send it to everyone who wins, but I’m pretty sure they send it to a lot of people.

:frowning: *special snowflake melts away

Are you guys going to apply for it?

Personally, I don’t think I am, but that’s just bc of all the stuff I’ve got going on this year

@MangoLover11223 I just realized that I forgot to reply to the National Honoable Mention thing. Is it too late? Would they recind my award? I haven’t heard anything about it since.

@equationlover i have no idea. They might have given the award to someone else, but you should check the ncwit website to see if your name is under the National honorable mentions. Someone posted the link earlier in this thread

@MangoLover11223 My name is on the list. Have you gotten anything past the initial email?

@equationlover to be honest, I do not think they even checked to see if anyone confirmed or not. I think all is good. For national honorable mention they have not send anything else yet, so you should be fine.
:slight_smile:

@Dizzywillow no I haven’t heard anything still

Still waiting on North AL results…

Outside of recognition what are some of the prizes you could win as a computing prize/device?

@Ibromfield I second. Gimmee a TV NCWIT.

@Dizzywillow I got an email from them this morning! hbu
