So really, thank you for this opportunity, its been great.I would like to thank the governor who sponsors the CyberStart program, after this past month I can truly say that my skillset and grasp of a wide amount of the topics covered and tested in the competition has expanded.

I insist that you all continue to sponsor and improve this competition so that many others like myself can be inspired and feel I honestly think this is a fantastic way to get more people thinking about a career in cybersecurity .

Kinaole Mulan Lau, Homeschooled, Grade 12 Thank you for sponsoring this program! I learned more in the last few weeks about cybersecurity than I have in any other course. Darren Kam, Iolani School, Grade 12 I have no clue as to who else on the island or the state has taken this amazing opportunity but as a message from all of us, thank you. In my high school, there are rarely any opportunities like this where someone like me who knows nothing about cybersecurity gets to learn about it and love everything about it. I hope that an opportunity like this will come again to not only me, but all those who have been waiting for this golden opportunity in their lives. Carl Antiado, H.P. Baldwin High School, Grade 11 This program taught me more than an entire semester of college. Ryan Nakata, University of Hawaii, Manoa, College Junior Thank you for providing this wonderful opportunity to Hawaii residents. Growing up, I often felt a lot of the more interesting/fun events and conferences for a lot of academic areas were on the mainland or were otherwise prohibitively expensive for Hawaii students. Thank you for taking the effort to make this great training available for no cost to Hawaii residents. Korry Luke, Iolani School, College Junior Contact Information: E-mail Web
