Final reminder: High school students invited to celebrate Virtual Kansas Cybersecurity Education Week with special event, Dec. 9-14

Kansas high school students are invited to participate in a special event, Dec. 9-14, to sharpen their cybersecurity skills while having fun.  

Hosted by the Kansas State Department of Education in partnership with EnterpriseKC’s Heartland Cyber Range and Wichita State University, a virtual “Capture the Flag” (CTF) event offers a thrilling, hands-on way to dive into topics like encryption, network security, reverse engineering, and programming. Plus, who knows what other surprises might pop up?  

This competition begins at 8 a.m. on Dec. 9 and ends at 4 p.m. on Dec. 14. It is open to all Kansas high school students, from beginners to seasoned pros and features a Jeopardy-style format where students can choose challenges that suit their interests and skill level. Participants shouldn’t worry about having all the answers—this is about learning, experimenting and growing.  

Teachers who have students who are interested in participating in this virtual Capture the Flag event can click here for more information about registration.
