Requirement: A Cyber WorkforceRequirement: A Cyber Workforce
• National cyber security can’t exist without strong, indigenous cyber workforce• We aren’t graduating enough STEM scientists, technical grads, engineers, math
majors, cyber experts• We must motivate high-school youth to pursue STEM paths
When compared to other nations, the math and science achievement of U.S.pupils and the rate of STEM degree attainment appear inconsistent with a nationconsidered the world leader in scientific innovation. In a recent internationalassessment of 15-year-old students, the U.S. ranked 28th in math literacy and 24th inscience literacy. Moreover, the U.S. ranks 20th among all nations in the proportionof 24-year-olds who earn degrees in natural science or engineering.

What doesn’t work… What does…What doesn’t work… What does…
• Academic instruction is important, but students aren’t particularly inspired by more class time, more lectures
• Multi-media instruction is a good tool, but they see plenty of that
• What excites, motivates: A well-organized, well-structured, competition

CyberPatriot Is…CyberPatriot Is…
1. The national high school cyber defense competition.
2. Carefully structured to excite, educate, and motivate participants.
3. Designed to instill in all participants the importance to our nation of cyber, cyber security, and good computer security practices.
4. Designed to motivate all participants to consider STEM academic disciplines to meet our nation’s needs.
5. Designed to motivate many participants to become the next generation of cyber defenders and our nation’s “digital workforce.”
“We will begin a national campaign to promote cyber security awareness and digital literacy from our boardrooms to our classrooms, and to build a digital workforce for the 21st century.”
President Obama, May 2009

CyberPatriot Is Not…CyberPatriot Is Not…
1. “Hacker training” We don’t teach “hacking” tools or techniques, and “hacking” in competition is strictly forbidden.
2. A recruiting tool for the Air Force, the Department of Defense, or the Federal government This is about building a strong national foundation for cyber skills throughout our high schools.
3. Boring academic instruction CyberPatriot is designed with extremely high fun and excitement quotients.
