This honor recognizes the outstanding work your school is doing to engage more female students in computer science. Official award certificates to celebrate these achievements will arrive at your school soon. In the meantime, you can download two versions of each award badge to feature on your school's website or in other school communications. We encourage you to share this accomplishment by using the press release template and sample tweets (.docx/36 KB). For support with distribution, please contact College Board at communications@collegeboard.org.

Research shows that female students who take AP computer science are more likely to major in computer science in college compared with matched peers. Through your leadership in diversifying computer science education, you’re preparing your female students for the in-demand jobs of the future and giving them the opportunity to help solve some of society's most challenging problems.
