The event will be held Wednesday, April 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in CSU???s Julka Hall, 2485 Euclid Ave., Cleveland.

OC3, a collaborative effort of more than 100 public, private, military and educational organizations led by the Ohio National Guard, was initiated by Ohio Governor John Kasich to develop a stronger cybersecurity infrastructure and provide innovative training and education to strengthen Ohio???s cyber workforce. The OC3 Cyber Range is a virtual training ground accessible for competitions, training and as a testing environment for schools, governments and businesses.

During the daylong capture the flag event, students from ¾«¶«´«Ã½ and northeast Ohio school districts will work in teams of two to solve a series of real-world environments to test their technical skills and knowledge of cybersecurity. Teams can retrieve virtual flags when they successfully solve the challenges, and prizes will be awarded for first-, second- and third-place finishers.
