This semester, the Coding, App, and Game Design program decided to make a small club called the “JRTI Cyber Club.” This club is to compete in “Girls Go Cyberstart.” This competition allows girls to access CyberSecurity learning resources. As participants, we take the role of security agents that have to stop gangs of cyber criminals and prevent several organisations from being attacked. While competing we’ve learned things like cryptography, digital forensics, and open source intelligence gathering. The program increases its level of difficulty as we continue to play. The difficulties range from easy, medium, hard, and extreme. Currently, our team of four are competing in the “Assess” stage, it closes on February 14th, 2020. We must have a score of five or more by the deadline to qualify for the next stage which is “Game.” We could win up to $1,350 for our school by competing.
