Yuma 508 has entered a team in the CyberPatriot competition for the first time this year. We have an enthusiastic team of four along with a coach and three technical mentors. CyberPatriot involves a significant time commitment for the cadets. I have told them that it is like playing in the marching band or joining a sports team during the months of preparation and the competition rounds. In fact, most of our team members already have extra-curricular commitments in addition to the academic load.
We are feeling our way along since this is the initial experience with CyberPatriot for all of us. We have worked through several technical issues but still find that Internet bandwidth at our hangar is limiting. We have participated in the training and practice rounds so far. These are both competitions that are not scored. Our first scored challenge will the the first Qualification Round that takes place November 3-5. Please join me in wishing the team success in their first outing with CyberPatriot.
