"As a woman in STEM, it is hard not to feel intimidated by the field, but my work with CyberStart has shown me that I am just as qualified as my peers to work in cybersecurity."

"I didn't even know cybersecurity was a profession before playing CyberStart. CyberStart taught me how to further delve through a web browser and how to spot different ciphers."
