Cyber Security, AI & Robotics Class Participants
Students taking ERMW's Cybersecurity after-school program at Raton Intermediate School completed their first competition this month. A special shout-out to the students for completing this mission and to instructor Jose Lopez for leading the charge!
Students in the program received a program T-shirt, a pizza party, and were rewarded with laptops for their hard work!
Many thanks to the Encantado Foundation for funding the after-school program, as well as the Emergent Campus and C Cubed Training for helping us get the program launched.
We are looking for more students for the January to May program. Students and parents interested in signing up to join the team should visit our website to learn more: www.elratonmediaworks.org/cyber-security.
