CyberStart Canada is Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst's new (and free!) youth-focused learning experience that seeks to increase cyber knowledge and safety among high school girls and close the gender gap in cybersecurity. On September 6, 2022, registration opened to Canada's first offering of CyberStart game to girls and non-binary students aged 13-18 in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario.
 

am excited to share with you that CyberStart Canada has officially returned to offer FREE access to CyberStart game and accompanying programming from February 1 - June 30, 2023. We have formed a partnership with RBC to grow the CyberStart Canada program to broaden our diversity focus and welcome more learners aged 13-18 in Alberta, Ontario, and British Columbia. You and I had chatted about the boys and I'm so happy to share that they can join in and play as well!

 

As with our inaugural program, students can start playing at ANY TIME! Clubs are not required, supervisors are not required - Students can sign up on their own and start learning TODAY! Educators and community organizers can sign up as well and check out the CyberStart platform, and solve 200+ cybersecurity puzzles and challenges alongside their students.

 

At the following link we have provided our promotional toolkit, which includes a poster, flyer, clubs package (if you’re curious about starting your own CyberStart Canada club), and social media assets to share with your students and networks!

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We look forward to having you and your students join us and play CyberStart with CyberStart Canada!
