for dedicating so much of their time and support. Your contributions were invaluable in making this event a success. 🙌

We are proud of our diverse panel of judges, who brought a unique blend of industry expertise and business insights, making the judging process both insightful and inspiring.

The other teams also made great efforts and I was impressed by their resilience and hardwork.

Great news: we will have the cyber security hackathon every 6 months from now on 😊🚀

In Saskatchewan we have lots of skilled cyber security experts who are capable of making a huge impact in Canada and the world and Saskatchewan Polytechnic and USASK play a key role in training experts. Majority of participants in the hackathon were current or former students in saskatchewan polytechnic cybersecurity program and I am so proud of these amazing students.
