RSA USA 2024

Wednesday at RSA 2024 was another busy day! We had a lot of CIN folks stop by and talk with us. I tried to get some videos with them to discuss what they are finding of interest to take back and share with students. Our social media team is working on cleaning up the audio, as it is very noisy on the exhibit hall floor. I will post as soon as I get it back.

I was super surprised to see @Stuart Cordery and Rob Kits from London come by the booth. They get the award for CINners who traveled the furthest to see us! I also saw Bruce Schneir, a computer scientist and author, at a booth on our same aisle, autographing his book "A Hackers Mind." There is always something different at the events, such as Liongaurd's robot that navigates the busy aisleways promoting their booth. Maybe we should have a CIN Bot!

CIN bot...

Now I've always liked the telepresence robots - those are cool. But I don't think there's an AI that can handle the near-deranged modicum that is the CIN motley crew.

At least it won't eat the bacon maple donuts.

Proctoring Issues

I wish to Echo @Gregory Childers sentiment I have Taken in excess of 150 exams through OnVue online system for Multiple Providors having taken 50 onsite in test centers I never once had an issue with the online system through OnVue.

It would be disappointing if this went away , when I went to take my ISC2 exam travel alone for me is 6 hours to Dublin Ireland as not all pearson vue centers operate every exam providor.

Is there something changing here that candidates should know I can't imagine CompTIA running there own testing system would not be cost effective.

Hi @Everyone! I hope to have an update soon! As we all know, there is a new learning content platform integration. I am waiting for our instructor to be able to get his hands on the full content for the course so he can plan the series. Once that happens, we can lock down a start date. Thank you all for your patience! We will post her in CIN as soon as the date is finalized.

Comp Sci Teacher in Colorado Springs Seeking a New Position in the Area

My campus has decided to focus on BioMed and Engineering as Academies and cut Comp Sci due to decreasing campus enrollment. I need to stay in the Colorado Springs area.

I was previously a physics teacher but currently teach PLTW CS Essential, PLTW CS Cybersecurity, IB Comp Sci SL, and Comp Apps 1 & 2. I have taught AP CSP and went through the training for AP CS A. IB SL is also usually taught in Java.

All my courses are tied to college credit and industry certifications from CDE's CDIP List. I host four after-school clubs: National Technical Honor Society, Coding Club, Cybersecurity Competition Team, and Strategy Gaming Club. I am qualified to teach all 7-12 Math and Science courses in Colorado and Texas. I also have SPED and ESL certs in Texas.

I am the chair of our district's Comp Sci Advisory Board. I have been asked for next year to be the Comp Sci / Cybersec SME for the Pike Peak Business & Education Alliance.

RSA USA 2024

Tuesday was really busy at the CompTIA booth! Had a lot of great conversations and met lots of folks. I am impressed with the number of students that are able to attend the conference or at least the expo hall. I talked with student who are preparing to take Security+ and some who have already passed it and working on other certs like Network+, CySA+ or PenTest+. Also, met a few instructors, some who were not aware of CIN!

I did not get a chance to walk around much and I am hoping to be able to do that today. Will share any cool findings and some pics when I do. Last night CompTIA hosted a reception after the exhibit hall closed. Guess who showed up? Would not be a conference without @Lee McWhorter and @Trevor Chandler.
