2024 MN Aspirations in Computing Award Ceremony

The year-round Minnesota Aspirations in Computing Program (MnAiC) is dedicated to inspiring, engaging, and empowering high school students, guiding them to become the next and best Minnesota-grown technologists.

For the past 12 years, MnAiC has been a leading force for hundreds of students, steering them towards educational and professional paths in technology. This spring, we proudly recognize and celebrate the achievements of 40 top-tier Aspirations in Computing Award recipients at our prestigious ceremony. These students stand out for their exceptional technical prowess, leadership skills, and dedication to leveraging technology for positive social impact.

The ceremony also emphasizes the pivotal roles played by high school teachers, the business community, IT practitioners, and community-based organizations. Their significant support is demonstrated through initiatives such as paid internships, job shadow site visits, enrichment opportunities, and mentoring experiences.
