Facebook Looks to Middle School to Fill Hacker Shortage

by ParentCo. May 12, 2016

The company has been arranging competitions using the tool for years, but yesterday (May 11), it open-sourced the game in the hope of exposing more people—including kids, the Facebookers of the future—to the skills involved in cyber security work.
