Join us for a week-long exploration of cybersecurity. Throughout the week, you’ll engage in learning activities designed to introduce students to a range of cybersecurity topics. We aim to make each workshop interesting and interactive. Campers will learn personal best practices for protecting their data and investigate ways in which bad actors can access information. Campers will work in groups in a computer lab environment and a classroom.
Students with enthusiasm and interest in the topic will be successful in this course.
