Competitions will be held at Newburgh Free Acadmeny once a month from Nov through Feb 2019.

What is CyberPatriot?

At the center of CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition. The competition puts teams of high school and middle school students in the position of newly hired IT professionals tasked with managing the network of a small company. In the rounds of competition, teams are given a set of virtual images that represent operating systems and are tasked with finding cybersecurity vulnerabilities within the images and hardening the system while maintaining critical services in a six hour period. Teams compete for the top placement within their state and region, and the top teams in the nation earn all-expenses paid trips to Baltimore, MD for the National Finals Competition where they can earn national recognition and scholarship money. – CyberPatriot Website

Great work at the Air Show!

posted in: Special events | 0

Cadets,

Outstanding work this weekend at the Air Show – your efforts are very much appreciated!  You all handled yourself professionally and were great representatives for CAP.  The 50,000 plus spectators noticed you, and we heard many positive reports. You are our best recruiters, and many families stopped by our recruiting booth to find out more about CAP after watching you at work. 

The cadets and parents who worked with the vendors have also helped the squadron immensely with fund raising, and the money raised will benefit the squadron in many ways.  

Thanks to all who came out this weekend to support the effort at the Air Show, and I hope you all got to enjoy parts of the show!
