SUMMARY:ENUSEC presents: Capture the Flag Competition
DESCRIPTION:Develop and challenge your cyber skills in ENUSEC’s (Edinburgh Napier Security Society) Capture the Flag cybersecurity competition\, with challenges based on cryptography\, open-source intelligence and more! \nIf you’re at high school (S3-6)\, college\,or university enter on your own or grab up to three of your friends to form a team and put your problem-solving abilities to the test.\nThe competition will run throughout the Ada Scotland Festival 2-13 October. \nPrizes \nT-shirts\, pens\, and stickers for winning teams. \nRegistration \nRegister opens Monday 2nd October: https://ctf.enusec.org/ \nFor more info contact team@enusec.org. \nAbout ENUSEC: \nAt Edinburgh Napier University Security Society (ENUSEC)\, we host weekly meetups for our members\, during which we host practical sessions on platforms such as TryHackMe or Hack The Box\, or assist with any deadlines our members may have\, or host both professional and student speakers. With numerous alumni of ENUSEC working for a range of tech companies\, we wish to share our network with members to help them further their career portfolio in turn helping to acquire jobs or placements within industry. We have an open discord – discord.enusec.org and a website enusec.org \nOur aim is to make cyber security as accessible as possible and encourage anyone and everyone to get involved in the cyber security scene. This year we are especially pushing to break down the stigma and encourage more women and gender diverse people to take interest. Our main target are those in schools and colleges as that is where the stigma starts. \nWe are also hosting CTF (a cyber security practical competition using essential real-life skills) challenges for those studying computing as a subject (leaning towards higher/advanced higher) and college classes. This will be open for the whole Ada Scotland Festival and the winners will be announced the following week. \nOur flagship event Le Tour Du Hack also offers a great opportunity to network with industry sponsors and speakers while they present on a range of subjects from cyber-security areas (eg. How to use Applications\, Digital Forensics). The event also hosts a CTF competition where people (mostly students) come from across the country come to compete\, offering a chance to sharpen skills while interacting with others who have similar interests.

Fue fundado en 2009 por Suw Charman-Anderson y al principio nació como un día para bloguear sobre las mujeres que trabajan en tecnología\, pero enseguida pasó a ser un homenaje más amplio a la presencia de las mujeres en áreas STEM\, de forma que cada persona lo interpretó libremente. (https://findingada.com/) \nDurante esta semana mujeres estudiantes y expertas del área STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Art\, Mathematics) estarán compartiendo conocimiento y experiencias a través de charlas organizadas para celebrar esta fecha. \nPara esta 5ta edición abrimos nuevamente un espacio para que las estudiantes de cualquier universidad del país puedan participar y divulgar su quehacer académico o profesional relacionado con las STEAM (STEM + Arte). \nEsta edición se celebrará del 9 al 13 de octubre\, en bloques de mañana o tarde\, presencial (Campus Omar Dengo) o virtual. \nHay dos modalidades para participar: \n\nMicrocharla: 15 minutos de charla + 5 minutos de preguntas. Tema libre. Aquí puedes hablar de la colaboración que has realizado en algún proyecto universitario o comunitario\, en alguna investigación académica\, resultados y experiencias en pasantías\, algún emprendimiento\, prácticas profesionales o hablar de la tesis de licenciatura/maestría. Todo siempre relacionado con las STEAM.\nAdopta una mujer STEAM: 10 minutos de charla + 5 minutos de preguntas. Espacio solo para visibilizar el trabajo de alguna científica\, ingeniera\, académica\, tecnóloga\, emprendedora\, entre otras\, nacionales o extranjeras\, relacionadas con las STEAM.\n\nA todas las que participen se les entregará un certificado de participación. \nRequisito importante: mujer estudiante universitaria. \nLímite para inscribirse: 30 de septiembre\, 8:00 pm.\n\nOrganiza: Red UNA STEM (https://linktr.ee/redunastemcr)\nConsultas: ccramos@una.ac.cr
