Learn to teach and mentor future cybersecurity leaders The NYU-Poly CSAW Cybersecurity Summer Bootcamp provides a unique opportunity for high school educators to receive training and development in cybersecurity as part of a two-year study sponsored by the National Science Foundation. This event is designed to create a nation-wide high school forensics challenge allowing thousands of students to participate and get a first hand experience working on security related issues. Twenty teachers will be selected for this all-expense-paid, stipend-supported, week-long program that will train high school teachers to mentor and coach teams to take part in NYU-Poly’s annual CSAW High School Forensics challenge and facilitate integration of cybersecurity topics in their high school curriculum. This event will work with teachers to develop a portal of web resources for high school students to facilitate their engagement in extra curricular and self-learning activity in the area of cybersecurity. Teachers will receive guided training in the fundamentals of cyber forensics and other security-related disciplines of computer science as well as participate in cybersecurity challenges.
