CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force Association to encourage students in careers such as cyber security and in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields.

Students are basically taught to fight hackers or viruses that invade a server or computer system. The key for students is to know how to go in to a computer operation system and shut down certain services or install a firewall or beef up a server without disturbing the system as a whole.
