Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory Inc
About
Company Description: MAGIC is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to build a tech ecosystem that creates and nurtures talent, entrepreneurship, and tech businesses, elevating the Westminster Gigabit Community to lead the Mid-Atlantic region. ### ### One area MAGIC focuses on is MAGIC provides hands-on technology and entrepreneurial education experiences for entry-level participants to enrich their understanding and interest in technology. Specifically, MAGIC's Capture the Flag (CTF), cybersecurity competitions are beginner-level experiences for students. Teams of 2-4 students are challenged to work their way through a series of cybersecurity puzzles set up in a jeopardy style format to find hidden flags. ### ### MAGIC's events are designed to attract new and young talent into the field of cybersecurity. Creating a network of students who are new to the field of cybersecurity and introducing them to cybersecurity professionals helps to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap for employers throughout Maryland. MAGIC's CTF events are also designed to connect students as efficiently as possible to internships, part-time, and full-time employment with technology companies affiliated with the competition. Cybersecurity professionals participate in the event by volunteering and coaching the entry-level participants. This opportunity to network with professionals in the field has helped participants secure employment and internships.
