Capture the Flag (CTF)
CTF competitions are a lot of fun and pit teams of 3-5 students against student teams from across the US and the world. Competitions generally focus on the following skills: reverse engineering, cryptography, ACM style programming, web vulnerabilities, binary exercises, networking, and forensics – CTF 101. Getting started gives you some ideas on what to expect. Python Challenge is a CTF like challenge that you can try anytime. Many students compete in teams throughout the year. Students generally form their own teams and register themselves on the CTF’s website.
See US High School Cybersecurity Competitions (LASA is listed on pg 14 as a top performing high school).
