Congratulations to the 2017 WIT Girl of the Year Elaine Wen!

The WIT Girl of the Year award was created in 2012 as part of WIT’s commitment to support the entire lifecycle of a woman’s career in technology, and is presented annually as part of the Women of the Year in Technology Awards.

The Girl of the Year has demonstrated a strong interest in science, technology, engineering or math, has been fully engaged in one or more WIT GIRLS programs for one year, is respectful and encouraging to others, is credited with exemplary performance in education and school citizenship, and has created a lasting and positive impression on a WIT GIRLS sponsoring host company and WIT member. Scintel Technologies has sponsored the award since its inception.

Elaine Wen is an Anti-Defamation League student representative, Girls In STEM club cofounder, and fencing team co-captain at North Springs High School.

As the 2017 Georgia High School Fencing League Women’s Epee Individual Champion, Elaine enjoys fencing epee in the high school league and competing in foil at national and regional tournaments. A bibliophile, bubble tea fanatic, and cat lover, she hopes to become trilingual (adding Spanish to her fluency in Mandarin and English) to communicate with and help others with her passion for languages, science, and technology. She hopes to study computer science and business in college.
