Congratulate the top three teams in each of the states and find out which three teams scored the highest throughout the U.S.

Between Wednesday, June 5 and Friday, June 7 last week, 120 teams across the U.S. participated in a ‘Capture the Flag’ team event; the final stage of Girls Go CyberStart. Working against the clock and challenges designed to test their digital skills, teams climbed up the leaderboard to score first place.

‘Capture The Flag’ (CTF) cybersecurity competitions don’t involve first-person shooters or running around outdoors. Instead, cybersecurity CTF’s involve a set of computer security puzzles and challenges that test your skills in areas such as reverse-engineering, memory corruption and cryptography. When a challenge is solved, it gives the players a flag — a secret string of code that can be exchanged for points. The more points, the higher the team moves up in rank.

We are pleased to reveal the overall winners below:

1. Blair GirlsGo — Montgomery Blair High — Maryland

2. PHS Girls Can Code — Poolesville High — Maryland
