The Funded Grant
Under the leadership of Waleed Farag, grant PI, IUP, along with a selected group of national universities, has again been awarded funding for four years in a row to run the GenCyber program in summer 2019. This year student camp is open to middle and
high school students. The prospective camp will address essential security concepts in an interesting, novel approach to foster interest in cybersecurity among middle and high school students in western Pennsylvania.
Project Summary
This project will host one free (no cost to participants), five-weekday day camp in summer 2019. Instruction will be delivered by a team of professors with numerous backgrounds but established expertise in cybersecurity teaching and research.
The student camp will provide a uniformly distributed, engaging blend of delivery that includes direct instruction, group activities, structured discovery, and hands-on, laboratory, and informal instructional techniques to both individual and combined
cohorts. Upon completion of the camp, participants will have a strong understanding of cybersecurity in addition to mastering basic skills that help them be safer online.
