About Aspirations
The Minnesota Aspirations in Computing (MnAiC) program is dedicated to inspiring high school students in grades 9-12 who identify as women, trans women, genderqueer, or nonbinary. Each year, we honor over 70+ exceptional students at our spring Top-Tier and Rising Star ceremonies in collaboration with our corporate, community, and educational partners.
Our awards celebrate students’ computing achievements, enthusiasm for technology, leadership, community involvement, and resilience. This recognition not only acknowledges their accomplishments but also fuels their ongoing engagement in STEM, enhances their confidence, and advances diversity in the tech industry. Beyond the accolades, MnAiC provides a range of impactful opportunities throughout the year.
Our program offers hands-on tech experiences, career exploration and job shadowing, personalized mentorship, professional development, college scholarships, and paid internships. By combining recognition with these valuable resources, we are committed to supporting our honorees as they continue their journey in STEM education and pursue successful careers in technology.
