The awards ceremony will be available to watch at ncwit.org/livestream at 11:30 a.m. PDT.
The Reel WiT Award (ncwit.org/reelwit) recognizes the best portrayal of a leading woman in technology from a program (e.g. documentary, TV show, film, YouTube, etc.) who serves as a role model for girls and women with computing aspirations while disrupting the stereotypes of female ingenuity in technology fields.
