Welcome to the CyberTruck Challenge

CyberTruck Challenge began in 2017 and was modeled after CyberAuto Challenge, which started in 2012. The “Challenge” family of events has a long, valued history of proven success in their respective domains. Unlike “hacking villages” each Challenge seeks to form and develop relationships in the industry and values the trust of each sponsoring agency.

The CyberTruck Challenge was unable to raise sufficient sponsor funding to hold an event in 2026.  It is with great reluctance that we cancel the 2026 event, but we believe market conditions are improving and there is a good chance the event will return with sponsor support in 2027.  We are willing to refer student applications to other of the CyberChallenge events if the applying student wishes
