Code Club Head to York

The island’s Code Club is competing in York today at the CyberCenturion National Finals.

CyberCenturion is a national cyber education initiative for 12-18 year-olds designed to excite, educate and motivate students to pursue further education and careers in STEM and cybersecurity.

With three teams from the island competing, the Manx contingent actually make up 20% of the overall finalists.

Trip leader Adam Drummond explained what the finals consists of: ‘The day begins with an introduction from Stem Learning and Northrop Grumman (the organisers and sponsors), and then an introduction to the competition from the American Air Force.

‘The teams will have two competition ‘sessions’ where they will battle it out on the cyber frontier to attain the highest score in this prestigious fourth round. Between the sessions, the teams will be treated to lunch and a talk from an exciting guest speaker and free time to explore the university’s campus.’
