The CyberFirst Girls Competition Celebration Day was a truly inspiring event, bringing together the top 10 school teams from across the region to recognise their outstanding achievements in the CyberFirst Girls Competition. The day was packed with engaging activities, inspiring keynote speeches and hands-on challenges that tested their problem-solving skills, teamwork and creativity.​​​​​
Throughout the event, students had the opportunity to hear from industry experts, gaining valuable insights into the world of cybersecurity and the exciting career paths available.
Interactive sessions and challenges encouraged them to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios, showcasing the critical thinking and technical skills they had developed throughout the competition. Students took part in a range of exciting workshops, including Operation Enigma, Cyber Heist and robotics, giving them hands-on experience in problem-solving and cybersecurity challenges.
​Beyond celebrating individual and team successes, the event reinforced the importance of diversity in cybersecurity. With women still underrepresented in the industry, initiatives like this celebration day play a crucial role in breaking down barriers and inspiring the next generation of female cyber professionals. Seeing so many talented young women demonstrating their passion and expertise in the field was inspiring.
