- That's pretty rad. And to think I spent my junior high and highschool years on my C-64 with a 300 baud modem dialing in to BBSes. I could have been preparing for a career in cyber defense. These kids have great futures ahead of them. Iowa seems to be the place to be these days.

- And the girl who said that "IT isn't just for boys" knows whereof she speaks: not only did she and her female-majority teammates take top honors for the second year in a row, but another team from the same school--also mostly girls--took second place. They must have an incredible program there.

- This is a really interesting program that teaches students how to use their computer skills against real problems. We need more hands on programs like this!
