Wrap Up the Holidays with a Sticker Heist Toolkit

December 20 | 9 am PST | Virtual

Who likes puzzles? Sticker Heist is a hands-on, minds-on game in which each team of students must solve multiple puzzles within a limited time in order to complete the shared quest of opening the locked box to retrieve the stickers.

In the not-too-distant future, laptop stickers are the new global currency, and you've just gotten your hands on a safe full of them. The safe is locked for now, but its security system is no match for your team's hacking skills. Your mission: hack into the security system, disable the alarms, and pull off the heist of a lifetime... but you're already running short on time.

Review the new hands-on cybersecurity education tool, Sticker Heist (www.stickerheist.com).
