Folks might say that taking a cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) changed their life. Those people probably haven't tried National Cyber League (NCL) yet. 😉 If you'd like to know more about the National Cyber League, page one of the Google search results for "NCL" won't help much. This is where the CryptoKait blog comes in!

Before there was NCL... there was a little girl playing interactive Nancy Drew games, quietly practicing cryptography without even realizing it was a cyber skill.(*) Now that she's grown, and with a handle like CryptoKait, you know this is one introduction to cryptography that you shouldn't miss!
[Taisa here. Boy-howdy, taking a few minutes to read this would have saved me hours in NCL!]

This was the behind-the-scenes, CTF101 workshop that CryptoKait had been looking forward to all week!

It was a marathon of a day—a marathon, not a race! Do as CryptoKait says, and not as CryptoKait does, and pace yourself for an exciting event recap that includes workshops, Speed Mentoring, a woman who changed majors 7 times, 2 after-parties... and what tech conference story would be complete without the police?

Audience members had one thing in common: a lack of confidence, or even outright fear of hackathons. What did presenters say to ease their minds? What does CryptoKait tell her students? And what pro tip did CryptoKait write down twice?

With 18,000 attendees and a worldwide live-stream, GHC is not just a conference; it's a movement. CryptoKait shares the inspiring stories of successful women in tech who overcame financial burdens, toxic relationships, and fears of failure. The trick in all cases is to "surround yourself with people who support you."

You may ask yourself, "What impact could I possibly have on the technical community at such an early stage in my career?" That question is answered very quickly after you ask yourself 52 other questions. CryptoKait recounts her experience at this inspiring workshop and some of those questions (with four minutes to spare!).

What do candy, power adapters, application security, beach balls, and cons-within-cons à la Inception all have in common? CryptoKait's first ever DEF CON experience taught her that nothing can prepare you for DEF CON... but that's not going to stop her from trying to prepare you for DEF CON! What to pack is just the beginning...

"She Started It" is a documentary that tells the stories of 5 young, female entrepreneurs. It highlights the importance of representation in a male-dominated field. Attending a screening helped CryptoKait put words to a phenomenon in the tech industry: the Swiss cheese issue. What we ought to become is cheddar.
