Young people from across the United States came together in San Diego in April for the 2024 National LifeSmarts Championship, an annual competition that allows middle and high school students to earn scholarships by demonstrating their critical thinking skills on real-world consumer issues.
來自美國各地的年輕人於4月在聖地亞哥會聚，參加2024年全國LifeSmarts錦標賽（National LifeSmarts Championship），這是一項允許中學和高中學生通過展示其在真實消費者問題上的批判性思維技能而獲得獎學金的年度比賽。
The four-day event is the culmination of the National Consumer League's LifeSmarts program, which provides free educational activities for teens to learn new skills in consumer rights and responsibilities, the environment, health and safety, personal finance and technology.
這個爲期四天的活動是全國消費者聯盟LifeSmarts計劃的高潮，該計劃爲青少年提供免費的教育活動，以學習消費者的權利和責任、環境、健康和安全、個人財務和科技等新技能。
Norton, one of our leading Cyber Safety brands, was a Presenting Sponsor at the 2024 competition, and we contributed more than $100,000 to make Cyber Safety education a significant part of the event's curriculum.
我們的旗下領先的網絡安全品牌之一——諾頓，是2024年比賽的主題贊助商，我們爲此貢獻了100,000美元以上，使網絡安全教育成爲比賽課程的重要組成部分。
Confronting the Dangers of Identity Theft
應對身份盜竊的危險
Our support underwrote the LifeSmarts Identity Theft Essay Contest, which asked students to investigate the issue of identity theft, articulate its importance and proactively offer solutions. Of the 41 students who participated, five winners each received $1,000 scholarships, which we directly funded.
我們的支持資助了LifeSmarts身份盜竊散文比賽（LifeSmarts Identity Theft Essay Contest），該比賽要求學生調查身份盜竊問題、闡明其重要性並積極提出解決方案。41名參賽學生中有5名獲獎者，每人獲得直接由我們資助的1,000美元獎學金。
"Identity theft is a serious crime that can have devastating consequences," said Maria Huck, a high school senior from West Virginia who was one of the five winners of the essay contest. "When I was 18, I discovered that my mother had opened multiple credit cards in my name and had maxed them out without my knowledge. It's a painful reminder that we must always be vigilant and protect ourselves, even from those we think we can trust the most."
“身份盜竊是一種嚴重的犯罪，可能會帶來毀滅性的後果，”來自西弗吉尼亞州的高中高年級生瑪麗亞哈克是散文比賽的五名獲獎者之一，“當我18歲時，我發現我的母親在我的名字下開了多張信用卡，並在我不知情的情況下將它們全部用光了。這是一個痛苦的提醒，我們必須始終保持警惕，甚至要保護自己，即使是我們認爲最值得信任的人。”
The topic of Cyber Safety was also featured in the competition's other challenges, with students answering questions about online threats, digital privacy and the importance of data protection.
網絡安全問題還出現在比賽的其他挑戰中，學生們回答有關在線威脅、數字隱私和數據保護的問題。
Building an Inclusive Environment
建立一個包容性的環境
We also helped pave the way for new voices to take part in the competition in 2024. Our contributions to the LifeSmarts Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiative covered travel and expenses for 10 teams from Title-1 and under-resourced communities across the U.S. For many of them, this was their first time traveling out of their home states.
我們還幫助在2024年的比賽中爲新的聲音鋪平道路。我們對LifeSmarts多樣化、公平、包容和共融倡議的貢獻覆蓋了從全美各地的Title-1和資源不足社區中選派的10支隊伍的旅行和費用。對於他們中的許多人來說，這是他們第一次離開家鄉所在的州。
Distributing Cyber Safety Tools
分發網絡安全工具
We provided free licenses for Norton 360 Deluxe to the more than 350 students, coaches, alumni and coordinators who attended the Championship, representing 30 states and the District of Columbia. The donation marks our commitment to getting necessary Cyber Safety resources into the hands of those who need them most.
我們向來自30個州和哥倫比亞特區的350多名參加錦標賽的學生、教練、校友和協調員提供了諾頓360豪華版（Norton 360 Deluxe）的免費許可證。這項捐贈標誌着我們致力於將必要的網絡安全資源提供給最需要的人群。
