Support the Crimson Defense Cyber Security Club

Investing in the next generation of cyber security professionals is critical to our nation's national security!

UACTF, also known as The University of Alabama Capture the Flag Competition, is a Jeopardy-style capture-the-flag (CTF) competition for high school students in the southeast United States. The University of Alabama's Crimson Defense Cyber Security Club annually hosts UACTF, with college students bearing responsibility for the competition's creation and overall function. UACTF exposes high school students to computer science and cyber security topics and allows them to develop their interests before they enter college. Through UACTF, students are provided with opportunities to collaborate, learn, and have fun while learning cyber security skills! Since the competition's inception in 2019, hundreds of high school students have competed, both in person and virtually. We do not charge the students or schools fees to compete, and as such, UACTF relies on donations to function. 

Your contributions will aid us in our mission to extend cyber security education outreach across the southeast USA by covering the costs of the competition: from infrastructure to lunch to prizes for the students! Invest in a more secure tomorrow, donate to UACTF!
