Our Team
The students become the teachers...
Our founding team originated from a group of high-schoolers meeting online to train one another through cybersecurity competitions. Each of us competed in the National Cyber League (NCL) or AFA CyberPatriot, and found ourselves wanting to share our knowledge with a broader community. Soon afterwards, local middle-schoolers joined us online, and we walked them through competition-like questions. Feeling proud and eager to help more students, we formed Echelon Catapult, inspiring everyone to be the best and accelerating towards the future. Thank you for supporting our mission, and welcome to Echelon Catapult!
