With no experience required, <a href=\"http://t9hacks.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">T9Hacks is an event</a> planned by college students, for college students, and focuses on creating a unique and engaging venue for women, non-binary, and other gender minority students. With three tracks to explore, participants will attend workshops and compete in challenges around creative technology, humanitarian technology, or cybersecurity.</p>\n<p>The cybersecurity track, presented by <a href=\"https://community.md5.net/md5/homepage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MD5</a>, is open to students at all levels of cyber proficiency. Via Circadence’s Project Ares®, attendees will work individually or in teams to learn the basics, hone their skills, explore cybersecurity job roles, and execute simulated mission scenarios.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Part 1: Warm-up.</strong> Dive head first into Project Ares. This portion of the event will feature minigames and battle rooms, and is structured to introduce core concepts, present hands-on tasks, and expose students to the real-world tools and virtualized networks that cybersecurity professionals engage with for day-to-day operations.</li>\n</ul>\n[<em>Saturday, February 10<sup>th</sup> from 12:00p-8:00p</em>]\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Part 2: Dig in.</strong> With the basics covered, the challenge heats up. Phase two of the cybersecurity track looks to continue developing students’ ideas and proficiency through further work role-based activities and an emphasis on end-to-end problem solving. Virtual environments will replicate real-life cyber scenarios and threats, allowing students to interact with processes and tools as they execute mission objectives.</li>\n</ul>\n[<em>Saturday, February 10<sup>th</sup> 8:00p to Sunday, February 11<sup>th</sup> 12:00p</em>]\n<p>“Our goal is to create fun and creative environments where marginalized students – particularly women and non-binary students – can learn and solve compelling problems,” said B.A. Kos, T9Hacks Event Director.</p>\n<p><strong>Circadence’s Project Ares</strong></p>\n<p>Project Ares, the only gamified, artificial intelligence (AI) powered cyber training solution, changes the paradigm for cybersecurity education by engaging learners interested in or pursuing a STEM-focused path by utilizing real-world tools and tactics in immersive, virtual environments.</p>\n<p>Project Ares’ virtual gaming environment adapts to the experiential learning style of next generation students, and supports customized, task-oriented training, skill-specific games, and mission scenarios for both individual and team-based exercises. This approach encourages the repetition necessary to develop lasting skill and knowledge retention, while keeping students excited and engaged.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p><em>Image Courtesy of T9Hacks.org</em></p>\n"},"site":{"siteMetadata":{"title":"Circadence","description":"Build cyber skills hands-on with Project Ares cyber range platform."}}},"pageContext":{"id":"391d6d06-9653-5518-be96-91310271882a","featured_img":"https://staging.circadence.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/IMG_0018.jpg"}}}
