Who we are
Cyber Feud is a cyber initiative between the National Cryptologic Foundation NCF and the Maryland Stem Festival. Both are non-profit organizations dedicated to science, technology, engineering and math workforce development.
On a national level, recent reports indicate that the US is losing ground as the world leader in innovation, science, and technology. Our goals are to energize our nation’s effort to respond to these challenges.
