PEI Youth Cybersecurity

Join the Prince Edward Island CyberTitan League

Accepting PEI students in Grades 6–12.

The pitch

Defend a network. Earn recognition.

In CyberTitan, you play a newly hired IT professional protecting a small company’s network from cyber-attacks. You’ll hunt down and fix security vulnerabilities while keeping critical services running. It’s hands-on, it’s a real competition, and top teams can earn all-expenses-paid trips to the National Finals to meet other young cyber defenders and sponsor reps.

CyberTitan is the Canadian arm of the CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition — described by the organizers as one of the largest cybersecurity competitions in the world. Read the official competition overview.

Who can join?

The league is open to students in grades 6–12 all across PEI. No cybersecurity background needed — if you’re curious about the field, that’s enough. Come try it out, build your skills, and get a head start on a career in IT.

Season roadmap

How the season works

  1. May–September

    Training & prep

    Through the spring and summer, we introduce students to cybersecurity and get you ready to compete. Join over the summer to try it out before teams are confirmed in the fall.

  2. October–December

    Competition rounds

    We form teams based on how many students join and their skills. Across three competition rounds, you earn points and work toward the semifinals and Nationals.

  3. Semifinals & Nationals

    Advance

    Teams that earn enough points advance to the semifinals and national rounds.

You won’t be on your own. Our industry mentors — people who work in cybersecurity right here on PEI — train and support you throughout the competition.
