NDP CyberPatriot

CyberPatriot, the National Youth Cyber Education Program, was created by the Air Force Association to inspire K-12 students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nations future. ​At the core of the program is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, the nations largest cyber defense competition that puts high school and middle school students in charge of securing virtual networks. Other programs include AFA CyberCamps, an elementary school cyber education initiative, a children’s literature series, and CyberGenerations, a cyber safety initiative geared toward keeping senior citizens safe online.
