Women in Computer Science (WiCS)

About

Women in Computer Science is a student organization at ASU which acts as a support network and resource for female and other minority students in technology. Our vision is to increase diversity in technology in order to drive innovation.

Accomplishment

Throughout the past few years, Women in Computer Science (WiCS) has hosted many industry sponsors such as Adobe, Hexagon, ServiceNow, GoDaddy, Microchip, State Farm, Nationwide, etc. Every year, we sponsor 10-15 female/non-binary students to attend Grace Hopper Conference where they connect with women in tech leaders and level the playing field. We are a supportive community where students can join our biweekly meetings, socials, technical workshops, mentorship meetings, etc. to make friends within the field and connect with sponsors. We also host annual hackathon and programming competition with more than 100 attendees to promote a fun environment where students can showcase their technical skills.
