Capture the Flag
This Capture the Flag (CTF) cybersecurity competition, designed for high school students, offers students the chance to learn cybersecurity skills while having fun competing as part of a team. This CTF will be in a Jeopardy! format, with multiple challenges at differing levels of difficulty. Challenges may require students to find hidden data in files, break classic cryptographic systems, or investigating security flaws in a web page.
The competition is beginner-friendly and each team will have an advisor from the Miami University Cybersecurity Club to help them navigate the challenges.
