The Space Grand Challenge is a global cybersecurity competition for middle and high school students. This installment is a gamified satellite cybercrime challenge scenario developed by the California Cybersecurity Institute at Cal Poly. It is comprised of a multi-layered cybercrime plot written by student employees from Cal Poly, complete with complex characters, physical and digital evidence chains, and puzzles that challenge participants are required to search through and analyze to solve a satellite hacking crime.  The development team has built a virtual-immersive environment within Unity, bringing the vision to life with Unity’s interactive and real-time 3D platform.

The event will highlight the convergence of space, cybersecurity and digital forensics!
