A few weeks ago Blue Mantis proudly hosted the Digital Diva’s Tech Bootcamp at Plymouth South High School, a This event, born from the Hackathon initiative, which introduced young women to the exciting world of technology through hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and real-world scenarios. Guided by Blue Mantis team members, clients, and partners, the students explored roles like Network Engineer, Pre-Sales Engineering, and Project Management. Highlights included configuring wireless networks with Fortinet and debating IT decision-making scenarios, giving students a real taste of life in the tech world. Their engagement, thoughtful questions, and teamwork were truly inspiring. This incredible day wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our Digital Divas Hackathon team and the support of amazing partners like Fortinet, Climb Channel Solutions, and Milton CAT. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re thrilled to make this an annual event.

From securing sensitive data to building robust cybersecurity strategies, staying ahead of potential threats is key to thriving in our connected world. Let’s work together to ensure your data and technology are safe, enabling innovation without compromise.
