NCWIT’s education and outreach campaigns have targeted a range of audiences and are designed to shatter stereotypes, call attention, and accelerate existing efforts. Gotta Have IT is an all-in-one resource set – including posters, computing and career information, digital media, and reference links – designed for educators to build student awareness of and interest in computing. Produced by the NCWIT K-12 Alliance and launched with 4,000 give-away packets at the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) in 2007, Gotta Have IT is now available online. The NCWIT Entrepreneurial Series is a series of five papers and accompanying blogs that review current research and literature on women and IT entrepreneurship. Authored by senior research scientists William Aspray and J. McGrath Cohoon, the series was produced with support from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Profiles: Entrepreneurial Heroes is a set of magazine-style audio interviews highlighting women entrepreneurs in information technology (IT) careers, sponsored by the NCWIT Entrepreneurial Alliance and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. Listen to successful, creative, women IT entrepreneurs discuss their lives and their work. NCWIT has partnered with a network of companies to celebrate International Women’s Day as an opportunity to publicize, promote, and improve women’s participation in IT, with a campaign that includes events, live-blogging, links, and resources for planning your own celebration.
