Why players and teachers love CyberStart
Lina, student
Before finding out about CyberStart, I felt that I wasn’t going to be able to choose what career I wanted to pursue. I only knew that I liked Computer Science, but my knowledge of computers and technology was far from really helping me know about the vast careers in Computer Science. I kept searching for things to do to learn more.
However, nothing has helped me as much as CyberStart. I learned so much in such an exciting way. Even though there were a lot of challenges, I felt pushed and motivated to continue.
I never knew how much I liked cyber security until now! CyberStart opened an entire world I didn’t know about.
Anonymous, teacher
As a teacher, I couldn’t recommend CyberStart enough. It’s allowed me to introduce a topic I wouldn’t normally have time to cover and inspired so many students to consider cyber security as a subject area they enjoy!
Maeve, student
I have loved the challenges and the community. It has been such a fun time playing all the challenges and trying to crack the various codes. The community is also such a great space because it’s really a group of motivated students trying to help each other in any way possible.

Jesus, student
CyberStart is fun and valuable because anyone can give it a try without prior knowledge. I love how the challenges progressively get harder, but at the same time, you learn a lot from them.
Tabitha, parent
I really feel that no matter what subject you teach, problem-solving and critical thinking is important, and CyberStart’s challenges help students with these skills.

Draden, student
When I first tried CyberStart in the fall of 2020, I had very little cyber security knowledge. However, playing CyberStart helped me learn about many different concepts and tools. Within one year, I was able to compete in Capture the Flag competitions at the national and international levels.
I was also able to start teaching an introductory cyber security course at my high school. I was supported by the dean of math and taught the course around the concepts found in CyberStart.
