Harker’s Bacteria Busters eCybermission team flew to Washington D.C. for the eCybermission finals in late June where they participated in team-building workshops, lunched with Army brass and met with eCybermission judges. The group visited various D.C. sights and made a special trip to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds research labs. Although the team did not take top honors, each member received a $3,500 savings bond (in addition to the $3,000 bond awarded for their regional finish) and a medal for participating in the finals. In addition, this year, adviser Raji Swaminathan was awarded two plaques: one for being a founding participant and the second for being a five year participant.
