NYLF/tech Day 8 (evening)

My group's Future Solutions project didn't make it to the finals. One group's in my Tech Talk did make it to finals, but the final winner hasn't yet been announced. They finally opened up the Network Security Challenge Lab, and I finished all the challenges. At one point I was third on the list, but I sank as people with bonus points were higher on it than I was. I did have a lot of assistance on one challenge called Tantalus. It took some work on my part also, but I eventually solved it.

When we were in Tech Talk this evening, my FA (Faculty Advisor) told us that there will be no more NYLF/tech. He said that it was because the enrollment shrank. Last year, they had 1800 students, and this year, they only had 1200. They wish the enrollment to rise each year. My FA says that he doesn't think they will ever have a NYLF/tech forum again. It makes me sad because I would really enjoy coming back and doing it again as an alumnus. The idea was put out to start a petition to have NYLF/tech again, but its success is very doubtful. :(
