This event invited students to take on one of the most pressing challenges of our time: cybersecurity. Participants:
Built tools to help protect small businesses from cyber threats
Created coding projects, business proposals, or hybrids of both
Learned about data security, cybercrime prevention, and the ethics of digital safety
Competed for prizes and recognition
Our board-wide competition brought together students from across HWDSB to tackle an economics-based coding challenge.
Participants modeled wealth inequality using Lorenz curves and Gini indexes, Applied math principles to real global economic data, Created algorithms to quantify and visualize inequality, and Practiced data analysis, problem-solving, and coding under time constraints
