GenCyber Summer Teacher Camp

The NSA has awarded Cal Poly a GenCyber grant for providing a middle/high school teacher workshop in cybersecurity. Using a hands-on, learn-by-doing approach, teachers will learn the fundamentals of cybersecurity, including digital identity, web security, secret communication and computer forensics. Special emphasis will be placed on helping teachers integrate their computer security material into their lessons at their school. Only basic computer literacy is assumed. Attendees must have access to a computer with at least 4 GB of RAM and a high-speed internet connection.
