Red Wing Public Schools ISD 256
March 1, 2026
Award part of Aspirations in Computing
Beatrix Lahammer has been selected as a Minnesota Aspirations in Computing (MnAiC) Rising Star, part of the NCWIT Aspirations in Computing program. She will be one of 34 students statewide recognized at this level at an awards ceremony this spring.
Beatrix is the first Red Wing student in the history of the MnAiC program to be recognized. This honor reflects the new opportunities provided by Flight Path 2030 — Red Wing Public Schools’ initiative to expand access to computer science, data science, and AI pathways. As coursework, career exploration, and industry-connected learning increase, students are earning recognition and gaining beyond our district.
Thanks to the work of the Minnesota Technology Association, Beatrix can participate in state-level programming that includes mentorship, professional skill development, and technology career exploration.
Students interested in applying next year are encouraged to join the National AiC community now to receive updates and be notified when the next application window opens.
