Calling all 8th - 12th graders! We have a cybersecurity contest for you!
The iDISPLA Cybersecurity Challenges is a contest that recognizes and rewards FCPS students for their thinking and new ideas.
Students in grades 8-12 are invited to participate in a series of real-world challenges that seek solutions around cybersecurity, broadband access in Virginia, and thermal imaging. These three contests are open to all students age 13 and older.
Students will need to register themselves and can enter one, two, or all three of the challenges on the site. When they register they will need to choose Fairfax County Public Schools as their “role” in order to be entered into the FCPS specific contests. All work is due by October 30. Once the contest closes, submissions will be reviewed by industry professionals and prizes will be awarded!
