Calling all WiCyS STUDENT Chapters

WiCyS University of Alberta is planning to host a cross-chapter Capture the Flag (CTF) event in March 2026! Whether your chapter is brand new, just getting started, or well-established – everyone is welcome. Our goal is to create a fun, collaborative, and inclusive competition that brings together Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) student members from across campuses and the world.

The plan is to host the event on CTFd, running for around 48 hours, so everyone can participate no matter where they are in the world. There’s very little commitment needed – help spread the word to your members (and, if you’d like, organize something local in-person or hybrid). The University of Alberta Student Chapter will handle setting up the CTFd platform and creating challenges, but we’d love to collaborate if your chapter wants to help with challenges or organization!

Interested in joining or learning more? Leave a message in the chapter leader discord server, and we’ll share the link to the Cross-Chapter CTF Discord server. We’d love to have your chapter involved!
