WE DESPERATELY NEED MENTORS TO VOLUNTEER TEACHING STUDENTS CISCO AND LINUX (read below)
WHAT: CyberPatriot is a program of competitions between local clubs from a variety of high school and middle school teams throughout Nevada.
To learn more about the program click HERE
SOUTHERN NEVADA NEEDS: Schools in Clark County (public & private) are asking for volunteers & technical mentors specifically in the areas of CISCO or teaching students how to use LINUX, as well as FINDING vulnerabilities in any OS. Each week the competitors receive an operating system loaded with vulnerabilities for a different OS all spun up inside a virtual environment – the students goal is find all the vulnerabilities within a set amount of time – that is how they score points.
WHO: Anyone can volunteer BUT YOU WILL NEED TO REGISTER HERE. Most of the CyberPatriot Clubs meet after school, while some do meet during our typical work hours. You can volunteer ANY TIME your schedule allows.
WHERE: We have identified & prioritized certain schools who reached out to us for help – you are also welcome to pick & choose a school near your home or work for convenience. Either way – its up to you. Did we mention – The students REALLY NEED MENTORS to teach them CISCO and LINUX?
WHICH SCHOOLS ARE IN CRITICAL NEED:
Contact training@snca.us for the most updated list of schools in need
WHEN: Can you spare an hour or two each month (or more?) after work?
TIME COMMITTMENT: Spend as much time as you can or as little as you can – the students appreciate ANTYHING you can give. They completely understand you are busy as does the club leaders
WHY VOLUNTEER: Spending time coaching and mentoring others especially young students interested in IT and cyber is rewarding, plus some employers look favorably on this type of volunteering in the community.
