IEEE Ozark Computer Society

Join us on July 8th for a 'lunch and learn' with Karl Schubert for a great discussion on ENVISIONING AND REALIZING A REGIONAL DATA SCIENCE ECOSYSTEM In a landscape where every business is becoming a tech business and every institution (from industry to government and education) affect - how do we cope? This talk describes the vision, strategy, plan, and realization that came from a collaboration of industry, academia and government to create a state-wide rigorous data science educational ecosystem in Arkansas. Register today! July 8th, 12:00p - in person, or online! https://lnkd.in/g7t9kN5i

Great job everyone in the IEEE Ozark Section! Be sure to join us for our July Events! vTools invites coming this week: 18Jul2024 is the Research Experience for Undergrads (REUs) poster presentation. 31Jul2024 is going to be an IEEE Senior/Life Member Workshop with James Mercier. We are also planning to have the baseball game/tour on Friday, 26Jul2024. https://lnkd.in/eKnxavzS Also, be sure to mark your calendars for RazorHack this October! https://razorhack.org/

Curious how far the reach of CyberHogs and RazorHack is? Listen to this. My brother, a senior in high school, was on tour this past week at DePauw University. He texted me while on the visit to let me know me and my friends had been mentioned indirectly. "What do you mean?", I replied. During his visit to a computer science interactive class two students from the DePauw cybersecurity department came to speak to the touring group. The DePauw students brought up RazorHack Cyber Challenge and CyberHogs at the University of Arkansas during their discussion of hackathons and CTFs for students to compete in. I was SHOCKED. Not only did we not have any students from DePauw compete last year we never reached out to them either. RazorHack Cyber Challenge has spread like wildfire through word of mouth and our organizers engaging with members of the cyber community. It goes to show what happens when a group of individuals work passionately towards a common goal. Want to know how your company or organization can get involved in the 2nd RazorHack Cyber Challenge this Fall? Message myself, Evan Glover, or Chris Farnell to hear how you can! Or come talk to us this coming Saturday (4/20) at Sp4rkCon! RazorHack and CyberHogs will be there with a booth to engage with all the wonderful individuals coming to the conference. https://razorhack.org #CyberHogs #RazorHack #cybersecurity #CTF #UniversityofArkansas #NWA #sp4rkcon

Did you think Razorhack was cool! Well, so did these guys! Air National Guard Planning for Razorhack '24 is underway, so stay tuned! Thanks for a great article on what Razorhack meant to you! https://lnkd.in/gvfXNMtm

And that's a wrap! #razorhack23 was a huge success! Congrats to the winners, and can't wait until #razorhack24 !

Day one of Razorhack on the books! 100 participants solving challenges, picking locks and solving the escape room. Games pick back up tomorrow and then the big awards ceremony! Thanks to Idaho National Laboratory for an amazing escape room! An IEEE Computer Society Emerging Technology Event

The weekend of Razorhack begins! A great turnout for the opening ceremony! Thanks to our sponsors, IEEE Computer Society Fortinet ExtraHop Arkansas Center for Data Sciences Cyberhogs https://Razorhack.org

The RazorHack Cyber Challenge has maxed out! I'm grateful for all the people that have signed up so far. We are having to limit RazorHack to ~25 teams this year. My biggest regret was not raising even more money so we could afford more food and travel vouchers...but hey it's our first year doing this. We've learned a lot! See you there... Thank you to our sponsors: IEEE Computer Society, Fortinet, Arkansas Center for Data Sciences, ExtraHop, Idaho National Laboratory and the Cyber Hogs These are the awesome volunteers that help put it together: Chris Farnell, Henry Schmidt, Kate Kettler, Gideon Sutterfield, Mitchell Bylak, Grant Wilkins, Wesley Schwartz, Karsen Beck, Matt Francis, Tim Gilmour, Karl Schubert, Case Kirk
