2005

Our chapter selected Mr. Josiah Godfrey as our winner and nominee for the AFCEA National Award. His project, Cryptanalysis, demonstrated a number of encryption and decryption algorithms that he wrote in JAVA.

Ten people from the AFCEA Philadelphia Chapter judged well over two hundred 9th through 12th grade science projects. There were some amazing projects and frankly the judges had a very difficult time selecting the best! We highly recommend this event to those who need to know what the youth of America are doing in science and technology.
