Roger Billings on CybrSecurity Corporation


I noticed that Roger Billings was on the keynote panel for Defense TechConnect in Tampa, Florida last month talking about cybersecurity and his company, CybrSec (CybrSecurity Corporation).  According to the event's site, Defense TechConnect (DTC) Summit, co-located with the Fall SBIR/STTR Innovation Summit, brings together defense, private industry, federal agency, and academic leadership to accelerate state-of-the-art technology solutions for the warfighter and national security.

It looks like CybrSec was a major sponsor of the event and CybrSec's Warfighter Authentication and Secure Communication (WASC) System was a winner of the 2018 DTC Innovation Award.

I had not heard of CybrSec before so I was very interested to see their web site with a video about the system and what looks like some pretty amazing tech for Department of Defense (DoD) cybersecurity.

Roger Billings Speaks to Educators

Roger BillingsFor those of us who are hydrogen energy enthusiasts, the new Acellus Blog for Educators by Roger Billings is turning into a real treat.

The blog covers educator specific topics like new course announcements and tips for using the newer capabilities of the Acellus educator tools, but it also occasionally dives into side topics of tech, inspiration, and (you guessed it) hydrogen as a fuel.  I especially enjoyed recent posts commemorating the first hydrogen car as well as insight from Lear Jet inventor, Bill Lear.

Take a look and let us know what you think.

Roger Billings' Work Called a "Game Changer"

The Kansas City Star just put out a very detailed article about Roger Billings and the Acellus Education System.  The story includes interviews with teachers and administrators at schools using Acellus in credit recovery, special education, and the general classroom.  They refer to Acellus as a "game changer" that is being used to turn potential drop-outs into high school graduates.

They interviewed administrators at Kansas City Public School District, St. Louis Public Schools, and Grain Valley School District for the story.  They also talked to teachers and students for their perspective and provided a video story in addition to the print article.  This is one of the most complete and detailed articles on Acellus that I have read.

Roger Billings Mentoring Program

Ok, this is pretty awesome.  I just found a new page about the "Roger Billings Mentoring Program" that includes a scholarship for Acellus Academy.

The page tells about his story -- meeting and being mentored by Bill Lear, inventor of the Lear Jet, among other things.  It says the Mentoring Program was created as as part of Roger Billings' commitment to "give back" by mentoring others.

To qualify for the scholarship, students must be in pursuit of a high school diploma, spend at least a minimum time studying each week, and have a a willing parent or guardian to supervise them.
