LT. GOVERNOR BYSIEWICZ COMMENDS RECOGNIZED SUBMISSIONS TO THE THIRD ANNUAL LT. GOVERNOR’S COMPUTING CHALLENGE
Third annual event organized by the Governor's Council on Women and Girls sees increase in number female participants across Connecticut
 
(HARTFORD, CT) --- Lt. Governor Bysiewicz applauds the 27 submissions highlighted as part of the Lt. Governor's third annual computing challenge, “Coding for Good,” with this year’s theme “Inspiring Health and Wellness for All.” Made possible by the support and participation of various sponsors, selected students taking part in the challenge through one of the three submission options, Concept, Prototype, or Development, were able to showcase their challenge projects. These students, representing 16 different districts across the state, were recognized at an in-person celebration hosted by one of the sponsors, the Infosys Foundation USA at the Infosys Digital Innovation Center in Hartford, CT.
 
Lt. Governor Bysiewicz, Department of Education Commissioner Charlene Russell-Tucker, and Office of Higher Education Executive Director Tim Larson attended the recognition event, along with representatives of corporate and philanthropic sponsors to congratulate the students and learn more about the inspiration and design of their projects.
 
The 2021-22 school year was the third successive year the computing challenge was held. In 2022, there were over 300 projects, emphasizing the creativity and ingenuity of Connecticut’s students.
 
One of the priorities of the Council on Women and Girls has been to inspire female students to develop an interest in technology through expanding STEM education among women and girls. The Council is proud to acknowledge that out of the 27 recognized submissions, 17 were from women and girls or from teams that included women and girls.
