Nationwide CyberStart competition returns to Indiana

0

Governor Eric J. Holcomb today announced Indiana’s participation in CyberStart America, an innovative, online cybersecurity talent search and competition designed to encourage high school students to pursue cyber-based learning and career opportunities.

The CyberStart America program, sponsored by the National Cyber Scholarship Foundation and SANS Institute, is a series of online challenges that allows students to act as cyber protection agents, solving cybersecurity-related puzzles and exploring related topics such as code breaking, programming, networking and digital forensics.

In a pilot test of CyberStart America last school year, 373 young women from Indiana high schools participated and 49 succeeded in reaching the national finals. With CyberStart America now open to boys as well as girls, Indiana hopes to increase the number of students participating and reaching the scholarship round.

“Cybersecurity and tech-based skills are in high demand in Indiana and across the country,” Gov. Holcomb said. “Teaching young Hoosiers these skills early on will help ensure that the need in Indiana is met by bright minds for years to come. Indiana has proven time and again our strength in cybersecurity, and through this competition, we’re investing in our future as well.”

Participating students and their teachers do not need knowledge or experience in information technology or cybersecurity to take part. Everything they need can be learned in the game. The program is free for schools and students, and all Indiana students in grades 9-12 are invited to participate. Building on the success of last year’s Girls Go CyberStart program, this year, CyberStart Game is open to all high school students, and anyone who reaches level five in the game portion will qualify for the national competition to win scholarships.

The National Cyber Scholarship Foundation anticipates awarding scholarships worth a total of $2 million for use at any accredited college to 600 high-scoring students across the nation who participate in the 2021 competition.

Complete details may be found on the CyberStart America website. High school students can register for the program now, and may begin playing the CyberStart Game at 12 a.m. on Nov. 15. They may continue playing, and invite their friends to join them, through February 28, 2021.

Students will be informed that they qualify for the CyberStart National Scholarship Challenge Round (the “Nationals”) as soon as they have achieved sufficient progress. Once they reach the challenge round, they are allowed to continue playing and learning in order to build more skills that will be useful to them in the Nationals.

“Left Jab” And “Middle Jab” And “Right Jab” November 10, 2020

0

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.

The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so

Indiana Main Street program opens with new levels and application

0

The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs today announced improvements to the Indiana Main Street program and will begin accepting applications for new organizations to join the program.

“It was crucial for the Indiana Main Street program to align with national standards and other state programs, which is why OCRA took the time to thoroughly review and research improvements,” said Matt Crouch, Interim Executive Director of OCRA. “Implementing a new levels structure allows OCRA to better serve and support communities that are actively working the Main Street Approach, while also cultivating their capacity for future growth.”

In 2019, the Office of Community and Rural Affairs suspended accepting applications for new organizations to join the program while it conducted a review and evaluation of the program’s scope.

Crouch said after much consultation with the Indiana Main Street Council and National Main Street Center, OCRA decided to adopt the Indiana Main Street Levels. This system allows member communities to engage in long-range planning and downtown revitalization at three distinct levels:

  • OCRA’s Downtown Affiliate Network: organizations that lack capacity/resources to work the four points holistically, prefer to specialize in event-related activities only, or lack the physical/historical capacity necessary to qualify as a Main Street;
  • Indiana Accredited Main Street: working the Four Points effectively but may lack a paid staff person and/or a paid membership to National Main Street Center; and/or
  • Nationally Accredited Main Street: meeting all MSA’s Accreditation standards.

As part of the reorganization, current Main Street organizations will be placed into a particular level with the guidance and approval from OCRA. Communities will then be able to progress to a different level by completing a membership level advancement application. Each level is accompanied by different requirements, incentives and benchmarks. The Levels System was influenced by the accreditation standards for the National Main Street Center and the Leadership Council of the Main Street America Coordinators.

Since 1985, the Indiana Main Street Program has been helping communities revitalize the economy, appearance, and image of their downtown commercial districts using the National Main Street Center’s successful Main Street Approach. Main Street is a comprehensive, incremental approach to revitalization built around a community’s unique heritage and attributes. Using local resources and initiative, the state program helps communities develop and provides support for the implementation of their own strategies to stimulate long-term economic growth and pride in the downtown.

That brings to 214,509 the number of Indiana residents now known to have had the novel coronavirus following corrections to the previous day’s dashboard.

A total of 4,418 Hoosiers are confirmed to have died from COVID-19, an increase of 34 from the previous day.
