NCF Cyber Saturday Program Sponsorship
Program Overview
Empowering Tomorrow's Cybersecurity Leaders - Cyber Saturday Program
The National Cryptologic Foundation’s Cyber Saturday Program is a dynamic initiative designed to inspire and equip students aged 10-16 with essential skills in cybersecurity, digital awareness, and critical thinking. Through hands-on workshops and interactive challenges, students learn to tackle modern digital threats and build foundational cyber knowledge.
During its first two years, this program successfully engaged over 250 students from the DC-Maryland-Virginia area. Notable past events include June 2023 and May 2024. As we look ahead, two additional Cyber Saturday events are scheduled for January 18, 2025, and May 3, 2025, with an anticipated reach of more than 500 students. These events align with NCF’s mission to promote cyber literacy and workforce readiness, preparing the next generation for a secure and digital future.
