Cybersecurity Video!
This year’s Festival will focus heavily on video games and eSports. One of our sponsors, the National Cryptologic Foundation, is looking for students to beta test their video before it is released. Give it a try and let them know what you think! Play the game on their website. Don’t forget to check out our video game, Agrownomics.
