Girls Go CyberStart (GGCS) is a fun, online extracurricular cyber competition that inspires high school girls to discover their interest and talent in cybersecurity. The program has already reached 10,000 girls, but we’re on a mission to give even more young women the chance to learn about cybersecurity and to consider the amazing career opportunities in this field. Join as an Advisor to run a Girls Go CyberStart Club in your school! Find out more, here.
The program is free, and girls learn about cybersecurity and computing while participating in a three-stage competition to solve digital puzzles. Teachers don’t need any cybersecurity background as the GGCS gamified environment provides plenty of discovery-based learning resources for students to learn awesome cybersecurity skills. Teachers can register to run a GGCS Club between Dec. 2, 2019 and Jan. 31, 2020.
Here’s what Mary White, a high school CS teacher in Georgia, said about the program:
“We had so much fun with GGCS last year, and it was the catalyst that got our high school interested in pursuing other cybersecurity activities. So far, GGCS has definitely been our favorite competition - it was so well designed and kept the girls engaged. I work at a small school where previously we have not had more than one female student involved in any computer science activities. At my informational lunch meeting I had an amazing turnout of 15 girls, who all competed through to the end. They all worked so well together as a team and took the time to help each other through challenging puzzles. Definitely a winning choice for us to participate!"
