Dear MCTM teacher,
This is the 6th year!
And we need your help again.
For a number of years, the NCWIT
(National Center for Women and Information Technology) has given national
awards to high school girls. The NCWIT Award for Aspirations in
Computing is for young women with aspirations and achievements in
technology and computing.
This year will be the sixth year
that there also will be a MONTANA contest for Montana girls. The time to
submit applications is Sept. 1 through November 6 and the application is
found at
There are many qualified high
school girls that would apply if they just had a little push from a leader like
you. Any interested female high school student would need to fill in
the on-line application, and get a parent and a school official to approve
it to be entered into both the national and Montana contests.
We have had winners from high
schools in Absarokee, Anaconda, Arlee, Beaverhead County, Bozeman, Cascade, Cut
Bank, Helena Capital, Helena High, Jefferson High, Libby, Missoula Big Sky,
Missoula Hellgate, Missoula Sentinel, Noxon, Park County, Simms and Whitefish
High School. We hope your school will be represented on the winners list
this year. But girls have to apply.
We are looking forward to
recognizing Montana's talent, and hope that you would encourage the young women
that you know to apply. Sometimes all they need is a little encouragement and you
are the person to provide that.
Thank you,
Steve Harper and Ted Wendt

P.S. There also is a Montana educator award (with $1000
for professional development) given each year. Do you know a good teacher
that you should encourage to apply (maybe you?)? Encourage them to go to:
