NCWIT. Revolutionizing the face of technology.
"I always learn from both presenters and other attendees -- either a new perspective on something I'm struggling with or a new idea about how to tackle different challenges. [NCWIT challenges] me to think differently and act differently... It's also a very engaging conference; we don't just sit back and listen, we work." ~ NCWIT Summit Attendee
"NCWIT has become a force for educating powerful people and entities and successfully making it happen." ~ Professor, Mercy College
"...NCWIT is the best resource for building innovative and high performing cultures." ~ Partner, Ward Howell
"NCWIT is by a wide margin the most successful organization with the goal of broadening participation in the computing disciplines in the United States. It is a leader among organizations working toward these broadening goals across all of the STEM disciplines in the United States. What sets NCWIT apart from all of its peer organizations is its commitment to social science as a basis for action. From its very beginning, NCWIT has been committed to social science to understand the phenomena from both a theoretical and practical perspective, and to the use of rigorous social science methods to evaluate programmatic efforts." ~ William Aspray, Bill and Lewis Suit Professor of Information Technologies, School of Information, University of Texas at Austin, Commenting from research conducted for the Sloan Foundation, 2016
NCWIT widens inclusion in the technology ecosystem through innovative programs and research.
NCWIT was founded in 2004 with a bold vision and a catalytic grant from the National Science Foundation: to transform computing and technology into a field where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Rooted in research and driven by best practices, NCWIT has grown into a vibrant, national alliance of more than 1,600 organizations—spanning education, industry, and government—all united in a shared mission to broaden participation in tech.
