PowerUp Cyber Games Youth Cybersecurity CTF

Geared to inspire middle and high school students, PowerUp Cyber Games, powered by Cyber Skyline, is a unique cybersecurity competition designed to teach participants to solve computer security problems while capturing and/or defending computer systems. Students will learn all about one topic each month using the Cyber Skyline Practice Gym and CompTIA-aligned curriculum. Teams will choose a three hour block from three different dates to compete and show their skills, trying to earn more points than the other teams. At the end of the season, winners are determined by cumulative season performance. PowerUp Cyber Games is a beginner-friendly Capture the Flag competition designed to be easy for teachers to facilitate without having to learn about cybersecurity themselves. Our goal is to introduce cybersecurity to students in a fun, learning-centered way in order to improve their understanding of computers and, hopefully, to foster interest in STEM careers. The 2022-2023 seasons kicks off in October. Registration is open until October 14th. The price is $150 per student, and we are running an early bird special rate of $100 per student until July 31st. Title I designated schools may qualify for scholarships.
