KETTERING, OH - On January 30th, the seven Dayton Regional STEM School (DRSS) Cyber Patriot teams will compete at DRSS to defend their title as #1 in Ohio. They will compete against 71 Ohio teams in the state-round competition, hoping to advance to regionals and win an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. for nationals.
Cyber Patriots is a national competition where middle schools and high schools students are tasked with the job of an IT professional, finding security vulnerabilities in computer systems and troubleshooting network problems in only six hours.
Beginning in August, students have spent at least 3 hours a week preparing for this competition. With the help of their head coach, Dr. Brian Kowal, and advisors Matthew Kowal, Jordan Slone, Mr. Collier, and 2 Air Force Institute of Technology students, they have learned about securing computer systems and creating networks. Dr. Kowal “expects the teams to do exceptionally well this year.”
The school would also like to thank the Dayton-Wright chapter of Armed Forces Communication & Electronics Association (AFCEA) for donating money for the seven teams' registration fees.
