The FIU GenCyber Summer Teacher Camp, funded by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), offers an immersive experience for secondary school teachers (grades 6-12) to enhance their cybersecurity, digital forensics, and AI skills. The program aims to increase awareness and interest in cybersecurity careers for both teachers and their students, and to improve teaching methods for delivering 6-12 cybersecurity curricula. Participants engage in hands-on activities, collaborate with FIU Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty, and interact with cybersecurity and digital forensics/AI industry professionals. The camp focuses on developing lesson plans aligned with GenCyber concepts, providing teachers with classroom-ready resources. Teachers receive a laptop loaded with cybersecurity and digital forensics tools to keep, along with a participation honorarium. The curriculum emphasizes practical skill development and understanding the NICE Workforce Framework to guide students in career choices. The ultimate goal is to empower educators to inspire the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
A typical day involves in-person sessions from approximately 8am to 5pm, including interactive learning, hands-on activities in FIU's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Labs, and engagement with cybersecurity experts and industry professionals.
This camp is best for secondary school teachers (grades 6-12) in the Miami-Dade Public School System who want to enhance their cybersecurity knowledge and develop effective teaching methods for their students.
