"CyberStart is basically a game. It is super fun, engaging, and can even be addictive sometimes with the drive to find the solution pushing you to keep working and building your skills for hours. I would definitely recommend it if you are looking to fill your free time with something fun and productive at the same time!"
"There were times were I would choose to do this over hanging out with my friends or watching a movie because I just loved how fun and interesting it was. I can't even describe how much fun I had playing and learning from CyberStart. I often feel like computer science can sometimes be taught or described simpler than it is just because I am younger, but CyberStart pushed my limits and help me grow. Thank you so much!!"
"In a short window of time I watched our students develop their creative problem solving skills, practice perseverance and develop team work."
"I thought that cyber security and computer stuff was super boring. I started CyberStart though, and I can't tell you how surprised I was. It changed my perspective completely. CyberStart has changed every aspect of my life. Everyone should try it out, because you just might find out that you absolutely love it - like I did!"
"I have tried to study cybersecurity concepts in the past but never quite understood what I was reading. Meanwhile, CyberStart managed to effortlessly teach concepts from SQL Injection to DoS to many things I haven't even thought of, and allowed these terms to retain and stick in my brain"
Thousands loved CyberStart around the world
"The community was very encouraging and everyone was nice. I felt very welcome and made lots of friends. It was somewhere I could express my passion for computing and not be judged for it.""
"I was a Semifinalist in my freshman year, a Finalist in my sophomore year, and now a Scholar. It has been a great journey where I developed a strong passion for data security and learned valuable skills. Thanks to CyberStart I feel so confident about pursuing higher education and a career in the field of cybersecurity."
"It's an amazing platform that made me very interested in the field of cyber security, as well as opening career prospects that I would have never known about otherwise or felt confident enough to pursue. I knew little to nothing about cyber security before Cyber Discovery, and in some ways, it has changed my life."
"I learned so much through this program and the hands-on and diverse set of problems made the journey engaging and rewarding at every step. I still can't believe how much I've grown through Cyberstart. If it wasn't for this program, I would have never gotten into cybersecurity, but Cyberstart's engaging CTF style encouraged me to continue to learn even though it was difficult at times."
