Overview
The National Cryptologic Foundation’s Cyber Saturday Program is an interactive learning experience designed to inspire and equip students ages 10–16 with essential skills in cybersecurity, digital awareness, and critical thinking. Through hands-on workshops and real-world challenges, students learn to identify and address modern digital threats while building a strong foundation of cyber knowledge.
Since its launch in 2023, Cyber Saturday has continued to expand its reach – to include hosting a Cyber Saturday evening in Augusta, Georgia in March 2026.
