Happening now: 22 current UMBC students and 10 mentors from Northrop Grumman are kicking off the month-long virtual CyPi Competition. Five teams of students, each with the support of two mentors, will create a cybersecurity-related app, which they will present to a panel of judges in mid-August. We are grateful to Northrop for being a great partner and offering this program over the summer, when many students had internships and other opportunities canceled due to the pandemic. Special thanks to Cyber Scholar alumna Priyanka Ranade for managing and facilitating the competition and to fellow Cyber Scholar alumni Victoria, Vitaliy, and Jana for being mentors to some of the teams!
