We were fortunate to wrap up our Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI) intern boot camp at Google. We're so appreciative for not only sharing their home but also the wisdom of their visionary, vint cerf and cyber leaders, Jason Wright and Shannon McHale. It was clear that the interns took what they learned from these conversations into battle, in their final round of Tech Duels later that afternoon. Life-changing experiences like these are not possible without the help of our corporate and community champions. Thank you to those above and listed below for their instrumental support: Our friends at Google: Esther Owolabi and Raj Rana Our Tech Duels facilitator, Murshed Chowdhury, and accomplished volunteer judges: Jennifer Taylor, Ana Marie Diaz, M.S., M.B.A., Rashid Neighbors, Tom Bendien, Tracy Caprio, and Chris Powell #CCIBootcamp #ThankYou #TeamWork #FutureLeaders #Technology #IndustryPartners

Our Premier Partner Microsoft has an enduring commitment to expanding opportunity, and they're working towards the goal every day. We were grateful to partner with our friends at Microsoft’s DC Metro Engineering to pack STEM activity kits for children served by Cornerstones. EVERY child in our region should have access to hands-on STEM learning: thanks Microsoft for working with us to make it happen. #STEMEducation #NOVAnonprofit #ScienceForAll #Microsoft
