CyberPatriOts: Students share more than computers skills
continued from page A-1
With such knowledge, “you
can defend your computer with-
out having to spend extreme
prices” on expert repair, said
eighth-grader Serious Waldrop.
Freshman Tyler Vogel point-
ed out' that the Oakland Bay
Junior High’s system has been
hacked.
Each student specializes in
a software program. Waldrop’s
expertise is Windows — “I know
how to get around restrictions,”
he said.
“You have to do a lot of re-
searching you have to re—
search new tools, new methods,
new issues when it’s ever-chang—
ing,” said'eighth-grader Richard
Beckman.
The students have to react to
things you’ve never seen before,
he said.
Beckman added, “Within
links are more links, more rab-
bit holes.” With new technology
comes “new curve balls,” he said.
“We don’t know what we don’t
know,” Gammons said.
The students have more in
common than a devotion to com-
puters.
“We’re family,” said fresh-
man Quinn Martin. “We appre-
ciate each other’s humor and
spend hours in a room together
without screaming each other’s
heads off.”
Vogel agreed a sense of hu-
mor is a common trait. “That’s
what get’s us through the tough
times,” he said.
Freshman Quinn Martin said
the team members want to put
Shelton on the map as far as
technology. “People in Olympia
see us as a backwater,” he said.
A In the semifinals in Decem-
ber, “We beat Seattle schools
funded by millionaires,” Martin
said.
Burlette said he wants to see
the CyberPatriots recognized as
an official team, such as basket-
ball or robotics. A longer-term
goal is to see cybersecurity of-
fered as an elective class for
credit in high school, with a
pathway to certification upon
gradiration, he said.
