Four schools in the Aurora Public Schools district will take part in a national cyber security competition organized by Northrop Grumman and the Washington-based Air Force Association.
Aurora Central, Hinkley and Rangeview high schools, along with Pickens Technical College, have registered for the CyberPatriot contest, a national cyber security contest that offers winners college scholarships and a free trip to Washington, D.C. Teams of five students and one coach from the high schools will participate in online scenarios where they will defend a computer network from real-life computer threats.
Finalists will participate in further online scenarios, and the top teams will then continue to Championship Round to be held next year at the Gaylord National Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
Applications for the CyberPatriot competition will be accepted until Oct. 8. For more information, log on to CyberPatriot at www.afa.org/CyberPatriot.
