The Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory (MAGIC) sponsors student programming to enhance workforce development for technology companies, particularly in the cybersecurity industry. Unlike many competitions out there, MAGIC events are positioned as entry-level beginner competitions to appeal to the widest possible population of students. High school, college, and nontraditional college students interested in pursuing a career in cybersecurity are invited to participate.
Shoshoni High School’s Team got 5th in the nation, beating out college students in April 2023! Carey Junior High School got 12th & 13th with only colleges beating them out in April 2026.
