Mission Moment: Local Students Tackle Cybersecurity in Summer CyberPatriot Program

Through AIM Institute’s Youth in Tech Program area high school students participated in a CyberPatriot program this past summer. CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air & Space Forces Association to inspire K-12 students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Students learned the basics of Windows and Windows security as well as Linux and Linux security. Students then used these learnings in a CyberPatriot competition where they identified and solved issues.
