The GreenHouse is sponsoring local high school and University of South Carolina Upsate Scholars Academy students who are participating in the US Air Force Association’s CyberPatriot Program.

CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force Association to inspire high school and middle school students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation’s future. The program features an annual competition, in which teams across the United States and Canada, as well as from Department of Defense Dependent Schools abroad, compete in a series of online rounds for a chance to earn an all-expenses-paid trip to the in-person CyberPatriot National Finals Competition in Baltimore, MD in the spring. There, students have the opportunity to win scholarships and network with industry leaders.

An organizational meeting will be held on Sunday, October 18 at 3 p.m. at GreenHouse which is located on the third floor of The George Dean Johnson, Jr. College of Business and Economics at USC Upstate. Students from Dorman, Spartanburg Day and the Scholars Academy will be participating.
